PREFACE. 


In  presenting  this,  the  lirst  general  directory  c»f 
Warren  county,  to  our  patrons,  we  ask  only  that  rea- 
sonable consideration  which  the  beginning  of  every 
new  business  enterprise  demands  and  which  all  chari- 
tably inclined  persons  are  willing  to  accord.  We  feel 
assured  thit  all  fair  minded  business  men  will  grant 
this.  We  do  not  claim  for  our  work  absolute  freedom 
from  mistakes,  but  we  do  claim  that  we  have  con- 
stantly aimed  at  accuracy,  and  that  our  purpose  has 
been  so  far  reached  as  to  render  the  Directory  ade- 
quate f  jr  all  the  practical  purposes  for  which  it  is 
intended. 

In  the  preparation  of  our  work  we  have  encountered 
a  vast  deal  of  prejudice,  the  cause  of  which  is  obvious, 
but  we  have  persevered  honestly,  and  now  hoi)e  to 
satisfy  the  most  incredulous  of  the  uttor  absence  of 
all  thought  on  our  pairt,'.  to  imx^ose  ux)on  oi-  in  any 
measure  whntever,  deal  tHif airly  with  the  people.  It 
has  been  our  aim  to  make  this  work  valuable  not  only 
to  the  business  man,  but  to  every  resident  of  the 
county.  If  we  have  succeeded  we  shall  only  be  re 
warded  for  honest  labor  and  money  expended,  and  if, 
in  the  judgment  of  our  patrons,  we  have  failed  to  do 
so,  we  shall  still  have  the  satisfaction  of  an  honest 
purpose  faithfully  pursued. 


As  to  the  mistakes  that  may  be  found  in  the  Direc- 
tory a  word  will  suffice.  Some  names  may  be  mis- 
spelled, some  addresses  and  occupations  wrongly 
stated,  but  it  is  impossible  that  these  things  should 
not  occur.  These  facts  are  due  not  to  any  lack  of 
effort  on  our  part,  but  to  the  mistakes  of  men  em- 
ployed by  us  and  to  typographical  errors. 

Moreover,  we  claim  that  our  Directory  of  Phillips- 
burg,  (although  there  has  been  a  number  of  Direc- 
tories i)ublished  of  the  town,)  is  the  most  accurate  and 
complete  of  any  ever  issued.  An  examination  of  its 
contents  we  think  will  prove  it. 

This  work  cannot  fail  to  be  of  benefit  to  the  county,' 
and  in  return  we  solicit  a  liberal  patronage. 

Weaver  &  Kern,  Compilers.

F)iSTOi^Y  OP  Rew  (5ei^sby. 


/  T  is  deemed  necessary  by  the  compilers  of  this 
V      volume   to  precede    the   history    of    Warren 
""^^"^     County  by  a  brief  history  of  the  State  of  which 
il  forms  a  part. 

It  was  not  long  after  the  voyages  of  Columbus 
that  John  and  Sebastian  Cabot,  two  Veuetiarss  in  the 
service  of  the  King  of  England,  Henry  VII,  were  com- 
missioned •  "to  discover  the  isles,  regions,  and  provinces 
of  the  heathen  and  infidels,  which  had  been  unknown 
to  all  the  nations  of  Christendom,  in  whatever  part 
of  the  globe  they  might  be  placed."  It  was  under 
that  commission  that  the  Cabots  discovered  the  island 
of  ^'ewfoundland,  on  the  24th  of  June,  1497.  'i'hey 
sailed  from  there  southward  along  the  coast  as  far  as 
Cape  Florida.  We  have  no  jjroof  that  they  endeavor- 
ed to  form  settlements,  but  they  landed  in  a  number 
of  places  and  took  possession  in  the  name  of  the  King 
of  England.  But  from  various  reasons  the  English 
did  not  take  advantage  of  these  discoveries  till  almost 
a  century  afterward.  A  patent  was  granted  to  Sir 
Walter  "Raleigh  by  Queen  Elizabeth  of  England,  in 
1584,, to  discover,  occupy  and  govern  ''remote,  heathen 


6      ,  HISTORY  OF  NEW  JB^RSEY. 

and  barbarous  countries"  not  previously  possessed  by 
any  Christian  prince  or  people.  Under  that  authority 
Raleigh,  in  conjunction  with  his  associates,  sent  two 
ships  to  America  under  the  command  of  Amidas  and 
Barlow.  They  landed  at  Roanoke,  took  possession 
of  the  country  in  the  name  of  the  Sovereign  whose  sub- 
jects they  were,  and  called  it  Virginia.  Attempts  were 
made  in  1585  and  in  1590  to  establish  settlements,  but 
both  were  unsuccessful.  In  1606,  King  James,  ignor- 
ing Raleigh's  right,  granted  a  new  patent  of  the 
countr}^  of  Virginia,  embracing  all  the  territory  be- 
tween the  southern  boundary  of  North  Carolina  and 
the  northern  boundary  of  Maine,  It  consisted  of 
two  districts  called  respectively  North  and  South 
Virginia.  The  southern  district  was  granted  to  Sir 
Thomas  Gates  and  his  associates,  chiefly  residents  of 
London,  and  therefore  styled  the  London  Company. 
North  Virginia  was  granted  to  Thomas  Hanham  and 
his  associates,  who  were  styled  the  Plymouth  Com- 
pany. 

It  was  in  1609  that  Henry  Hudson,  sailing  under 
the  ausxnces  of  the  Dutch  East  India  Company,  in  at- 
tempting to  find  a  passage  through  the  American  Con- 
tinent, and  thus  make  a  short  cut  from  Europe  to 
China,  entered  the  Delaware  Bay  on  the  25th  of 
August.  '  'Proceeding  along  the  eastern  coast  of  New 
Jersey  he  finally  anchored  inside  of  Sandy  Hook  on 
Sept.  3,  1609.  On  Sept.  5th  he  sent  a  boat's  crew 
ashore  southward  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Horseshoe,  to 
take  the  soundings  of  the  depth  of  the  water.  Here 
the  boat's  crew  landed  and  penetrated  into  the  woods 
in  the  present  limits  of  Monmouth  county,  New  Jer- 
sey. These  were  probably  the  first  Europeans  who 
set  foot  upon  the  soil  of  the  State.  Henry  Hud- 
son failed  to  find  the  Northwest  Passage,  but  what  is 


HISTOKY    OF  NEW  JERSEY.  7 

of  far  more  importancn,  lie  discovered  the  North 
River,  and  sailed  up  to  the  head  of  navigation.  What 
a  contrast  between  the  palatial  steamers  of  to-day 
which  ply  these  waters  and"  the  Half  Moon  on  its 
pioneer  voyage. 

The  Dutch  were  quick  to  avail  themselves  of  the 
advantages  which  the  discovery  of  Columbus  opened 
up  to  their  view.  "In  1610  it  appears  that  at  least 
one  ship  was  sent  hither  by  the  East  India  Company, 
for  the  purpose  of  trading  in  furs,  which  it  is  well 
known  continued  for  a  number  of  years  to  be  the 
princiiDal  object  of  commercial  attraction  to  the  new 
world.  Five  years  after  Hudson's  voyage  a  com- 
pany of  merchants,  who  had  procured  from  the  States- 
General  of  Holland  a  patent  for  an  exclusive  trade  on 
Hudson's  River,  had  built  forts  and  established  trad- 
ing posts  at  Xew  Amsterdam  (New  York),  Albany, 
and  the  mouth  of  the  R<^»ndout  Kill.  The  latter  was 
a  small  redoubt  on  the  site  of  what  is  now  the  city  of 
Kingston,  N.  Y.  It  was  known  as  the  'Ronduit,' 
from  vrhence  comes  the  name  of  Rondout.  The  fort 
near  Albany  was  upon  Castle  Island,  immediately  be- 
low the  present  city,  and  the  one  at  Nevr  York  was 
erected  on  what  is  now  the  Battery  " 

The  exact  date  of  the  first  European  settlement 
within  the  present  limits  of  New  Jersey  does  not  dis- 
tinctly a])pear.  It  is  thought  that  the  first  settlement 
commenced  at  Bergen — so  called  from  a  city  of  that 
name  in  Norway — in  1618  by  a  number  of  Danes  or 
Norwegians  who  accompanied  the  Dutch  colonists  to 
the  New  Netherlands. 

In  1621,  the  privileged  West  India  Company 
was  formed  in  Holland.  In  1623  this  company  dis- 
patched a  ship  loaded  with  settlers,  subsistence  and 
articles  of  trade,  under  the  command   of  Cornelius 


8  HISTORY    OF  NEW  JERSEY. 

Mey.  He  gave  his  own  name  to  the  cape  at  the  north- 
ern part  of  Delaware  bay  which  it  still  retains — Cape 
May.  He  built  a  fort  upon  a  stream  called  by  the 
natives  Sassackon.  It  is  a  tributary  of  the  Delaware 
a  few  miles  below  Camden,  and  it  is  now  called  Tim- 
ber Creek.     He  named  the  fortification  Fort  Nassau. 

It  is  highly  probable  that  this  was   the   first  at 
tempt  ever  made  to  form  a  settlement  on  the  eastern 
shore  of  the  Delav/are. 

David  Pieterson  De  Vries  who  arrived  in  the 
Delaware  in  the  winter  of  1630-31  found  that  Fort 
Nassau  had  fallen  into  the  hands  of  the  Indians.  He 
built  a  fort;  coloni2;ed  his  immigrants  and  went  back 
to  Holland,  and  for  some  years  not  a  single  European 
was  left  upon  the  banks  of  the  Delaware. 

In  1637  two  ships  arrived  in  the  Delaware  bringing 
a  number  of  Swedish  settlers.  Other  companies  fol- 
lowed, and  in  1642  John  Printz,  a  military  officer,  was 
sent  over  as  Governor  of  the  colony.  He  established 
himself  upon  the  island  now  known  as  Tinicum.  and 
built  a  fort,  planted  an  orchard  and  erected  a  church. 
In  1655  the  Dutch,  under  the  command  of  Peter 
Stuyvesant,  and  coming  from  Manhattan,  fell  un- 
awares upon  the  Swedish  settlements.  They  captured 
fort  after  fort,  made  prisoners  the  princ^iDul  men  and 
carried  them  to  New  Amsterdam.  The  Dutch,  how- 
ever, retained  possession  of  the  country  but  a  short 
time,  for  in  1644  Charles  II,  King  of  England,  sent 
over  Col.  Nichols  with  a  fleet  and  army.  He  made  a 
comi)lete  conquest  of  New  Amsterdam  and  the  sur- 
rounding country,  and  all  the  Dutch  possessions  fell 
into  the  hands  of  the  English. 

Immediately  after  the  subjection  of  New  Amster- 
dam by  Peter  Stuyvesant,  and  even  before  this  had 
been   accomplished,     Charles   TI    made  an  extensive

■grant  of  territory  to  his  brother,  the  Duke  of  York. 
This  was  done  by  a  royal  charter  dated  ^th  of 
March,  1664. 

The  Duke  of  York  in  turn  conveyed  that  portion 
of  it  now  known  as  New  Jersey  to  two  other  persons, 
Lord  Berkely  and  Sir  George  Cartaret.  The  form  o*f 
the  conveyance  was  as  follows: 

"This  indenture  made  the  three  and  twentieth 
day  of  June,  in  the  sixteenth  year  of  the  Raigne  of 
our  Sovereign  Lord  Charles  the  Second,  by  the  Grace 
of  God  of  England,  Scotland,  France  and  Ireland, 
King,  Defender  of  the  Faith— Anno  Dominie  1664. 
Between  his  Royal  Highness  James  Duke  of  York 
and  Albany,  Earl  of  Ulster,  Lord  High  Admiral  of 
England  and  Ireland,  Constable  of  Dover  Castle,  Lord 
Warden  of  the  Cinque  Ports,  and  Governor  of  Ports- 
mouth, of  the  one  part,  John  Lord  Berkely,  Baron  of 
Stratton,  and  one  of  his  majestie's  most  honorable 
privy  council,  and  Sir  George  Carteret  of  Strattum  in 
the  county  of  Deyon,  Knight,  and  one  of  his  majes- 
tie'  s  most  honorable  privy  council,  of  the  other  part, 
Witnesseth,  that  said  James  Duke  of  York,  for  and 
in  consideration  of  the  sum  of  ten  shillings  of  lawful 
money  of  England,  to  him  in  hand  paid,  by  these 
presents  doth  bargain  and  sell  unto  the  said  John 
Lord  Berkely  and  Sir  George  ('arteret  all  that  tract  of 
land  adjacent  to  New  England,  and  lying  and  being 
to  the  westward  of  Long  Island.  Bounded  on  the 
east  part  by  the  main  sea,  and  part  by  Hudson's 
River,  and  hath  upon  the  west  Delaware  Bay  or  river, 
and  extendeth  southward  to  the  main  ocean  sis  far  as 
Gape  May  at  the  mouth  of  Delaware  Bay,  and  to  the 
northward  as  far  as  the  northermost  branch  of  said 
bay  or  river  of  Delaware,  which  is  forty -one  degrees 
and     forty   minutes   of   latitude,    and  worketh    over 


10  HISTORY    OF  NEW  JERSEY. 

thence  in  a  straight  line  to  Hudson's  River — which 
said  tract  of  land  is  hereafter  to  be  called  by  the  name 
or  names  of  Nova  Cesarea  or  New  Jersey." 

It  is  thought  that  the  nanje  of  New  Jersey '  was 
given  to  honor  Cartaret,  who  had  so  ably  defended 
the  island  of  Jersey  against  the  Long  Parliament,  in 
the  civil  wars.  And  the  instrument  of  conveyance 
above  given  is  thought  to  be  the  iirst  one  in  which  the 
bonds  of  New  Jersey  are  regularly  defined.  *'The 
two  proprietors  formed  a  constitution  for  the  colony, 
securing  equal  privileges  and  liberty  of  conscience  to 
all,  and  appointed  Philip  Carteret  Governor.  He 
came  over  in  1665,  fixed  the  seat  of  government  at ' 
Elizabethtown,  purchased  knd  of  the  Indians,  and 
sent  agents  into  New  England  to  invite  settlers  from 
that  country.  The  terms  offered  were  so  favorable  that 
many  accepted  the  invitation.'" 

The  constitution  that  was  gianted  by  Carteret 
and  Berkely  continued  entire  until  1676,  when  the 
province  became  divided,  and  was  the  first  constitu- 
tion of  New  Jersey. 

The  colony  began  to  be  disturbed  by  domestic 
disputes  a  few  years  after  Governor  Carteret  began 
his  administration.  Some  of  the  i)roprietors  having 
purchased  their  lands  of  the  Indians  before  the  con- 
veyance of  the  Duke  of  York,  refused  to  pay  rent  to 
the  proprietors.  Because  df  this  and  other  com- 
plaints the  people  arose  in  insurrection  in  1672,  and 
Sir  Philip  was  obliged  to  leave  for  England,  His 
officers  ^vere  imprisoned  and  their  estates  confiscated. 
The  government  was  then  assumed  by  James  Carteret, 
a  weak  and  dissolute  son  of  Philip. 

War  occurred  with  Holland  in  1673  and  the  Dutch

of  the  town  diirino-  the  absence  of  Gov.  Lovelace,  re- 
jected the  aid  of  those  who  offered  to  defend  the  place, 
sent  a  messenger  to  the  enemy  and  struck  his  flag  be- 
fore the  vessels  of  the  enf^my  had  appeared  in  sight. 
He  surrendered  the  place  unconditionally  to  the 
enemy  without  striking  a  blow.  He  was  aftei-ward 
tried  by  a  court  martial  and  pleaded  guilty  to  all  the 
charges  made.  His  sentence,  remarkable  as  his  con- 
duct, was  as  follows:  "Though  he  deserved  death, 
yet,  because  he  had,  since  the  surrender,  been  in  Eng- 
land, and  seen  the  King  and  the  DuTce^  it  was  ad- 
judged that  his  sword  should  be  broke  over  his  head, 
in  public,  before  the  city  hall,  and  himself  rendered 
incapable  of  wearing  a  sword,  and  of  serving  his  ma- 
jesty for  the  future,  in  any  public  trust  in  the  gov- 
ernment." 

The  Dutch  dominion  lasted  but  a  short  time,  as 
tlie  following  Spring  a  treaty  of  peace  was  concluded 
and  New  Netherlands  (comprising  the  territory  of 
New  Y^ork  and  New  Jersey)  was  again  restored  to  the 
English,  who  continued  in  undisturbed  possession  un- 
til the  war  which  secured  the  independence  of  the 
United  States  of  America. 

Doubts  having  arisen  as  to  the  validity  of  the  title 
of  the  Duke  of  York,  a  new  patent  was  issued  in  1674 
and  Edmund  Andros  was  sent  over  as  Governor. 
Philip  Cartaret  who  had  returned  to  England  in  1672 
came  back  in  1675,  and  was  welcomed  by  the  people, 
who  had  been  uneasy  and  dissatisfied  with  Andros' 
tyrannical  rule.  Philip  Carteret  "postponed  the 
payment  of  their  quit-rents  to  a  future  day,  and  pub- 
lished a  new  set  of  ^'•concessions''  by  Sir  George  Car- 
teret- Peace  was  again  almost  restored.  These  new 
"concessions"  however,  restricted  the  broad  grant  of 
political  freedom  originally  framed.     Because  of  An- 


12  HISTORY  OF  IS'EW  JERSEY. 

aros'  efforts  to  enforce  the  Duke's  nnjust  pretensions 
much  uneasiness  still  continued.  Gov.  Cartaret  at- 
tempted to  establish  a  direct  trade  between  New  Eng- 
land and  New  Jersey,  but  was  opposed  by  Andros, 
who  even  went  so  far  as  to  confiscate  the  vessels  en- 
gaged in  such  trade,  and  sent  a  force  to  Elizabethtown 
to  arrest  Gov.  Carteret  and  convey  him  a  prisone)'  to 
New  York. 

Lord  Berkely,  dissatisfied  with  the  pecuniary  out- 
come of  his  colonization  scheme,  disposed  of  his  in- 
terest to  John  Fenwick,  in  trust  for  Edward  Byllinge, 
both  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends.  The  convey- 
ance to  these  individuals  was  executed  to  the  former 
intrust  for  the  latter,  for  the  sum  of  one  thousand 
pounds.  The  tract  thus  purchased  was  afterward 
known  as  West  New  Jersey^  embracing  about  one- 
half  of  the  State  as  now  constituted.  The  division 
between  East  and  West  Jersey  was  made  by  Carteret 
and  the  trustees  of  Byllinge,  July  1,  1070.  The  line 
of  partition  was  agreed  on  '"fj-om  the  east  side  of  Little 
Egg  Harbor,  straight  north,  through  the  country  to 
the  utmost  branch  of  the  Delaware  river."  ''This 
line  was  extended  from  Little  Egg  Harbor  as  far  as 
the  south  branch  of  rhe  Raritan,  at  a  point^just  east 
(>f  the  Old  York  Road.  It  was  run  by  Keith,  the  sur 
veyor-general  of  East  Jersey,  but  was  deemed  by  the 
West  Jersey  proprietors  to  be  too  far  west,  thereby 
encroaching  on  their  lands,  and  they  objected  to  its 
continuance.  On  the  5th  of  September,  1008,  Gov- 
ernors Coxe  and  Barclay,  representing  the  respective 
interests  entered  into  an  agreement  to  terminate  the 
dispute  It  was  that  this  line,  so  far  as  run  should 
be  bound,  and  that  in  its  extension,  it  should  tjike  the 
following  course;  "From  the  point  where  it  touched 
the  South  Branch,  along  the  back  of  the  adjoining 


HISTORY    OF  NEW  JERSEY.  13 

plantations,  until  it  touches  the  North  Branch  of  the 
Raritan  at  the  fall>^  of  the  AUamitung,  thence  running 
up  that  strea'iu  northward  to  its  rise  near  Succasunny." 
From  that  jxiint  a  short  straight  line  was  to  be  run  to 
touch  the  nearest  part  of  the  Passaic  River.      Such  a 
line  would  pass  about  five  miles  North  of  Morristown. 
The  line  was  to  be  continued  by  the  course  of  the  Pas- 
saic   River  as   far  as  the   Paquanick,   and  up   that 
branch  to  forty-one  degrees  north  hititude,  and  from 
that  point  in  ''a  straight  line  due  east  to  the  partition 
point  on  Hudson  River  between  East  Jersey  and  New 
York."     This  line  gave  to  the  northern  part  of  West 
Jersey  the  present  counties   of  Warren  and  Sussex, 
and  portions  of   Morris,  Passaic   and   Bergen.      The 
Coxe-Barclay  agreement  was  not  carried  into  effect, 
although   the   division   line    constituted   the  eastern 
boundary  of  Hunterdon  County  until  Morris  Cc)unty 
was  erected,  in  1738." 

Edward  Byllinge  in  consequence  of  losses  in 
trade  was  financially  embarrassed  and  compelled  to 
convey  in  trust  his  interest  to  William  Penn,  Gawen 
Lawrie  and  Nicholas  Lucas  (all  Friends  or  Quakers) 
"to  be  used  for  the  benefit  of  his  creditors."  Before 
this,  however,  he  had  sold  a  number  of  shares^  and 
the  trustees  sold  many  of  them  to  different  purchasers, 
who  thereby  became  proprietors  in  common  with  them. 
Fenwick  soon  after  made  a  like  assignment.  "As 
these  trustees  were  Quakers,  the  purchasers  were 
mostly  of  that  body.  Two  companies  were  formed ; 
one  in  Yorkshire,  the  other  in  London,  both  intent 
on  colonization  in  America,  and  in  the  same  year 
some  four  hundred  persons  came  over,  most  of 
them  of  considerable  means.  Daniel  Coxe  was  con- 
nected with  the  London  company,  and  one  of  the 
largest   shareholders  ;    subsequently  he  became  the 


14  HISTORY  OF  NEW  JERSEY, 

owner  of  extensive  tracts  of   land  in  old  Hunterdon 
County." 

In  1677  commissioners  were  «ent  b\'  the  propri- 
etors, with  power  to  buy  the  lands  of  the  natives  ;  to 
inspect  the  rights  of  such  as  claimed  property,  and  to 
order  the  lands  laid  out ;  and  in  general  to  administer 
the  government  pursuant  to  concessions.  These 
commissioners  were  Thomas  Olive,  Daniel  Wills, 
John  Kinsey,  John  Penford,  Joseph  Helmsley,^ 
Robert  Stacy,  Benjamin  Scott,  Richard  Guy  and 
Thomas  Foulke.  They  came  in  the  Kent^  commanded 
by  Gregory  Marlow.  This  was  the  second  ship  from 
the  East  to  the  Western  parts.  After  a  tedious  passage 
they  arrived  at  Newcastle  the  16th  day  of  June. 
King  Charles,  the  Second,  pleasuring  on  the  Thames, 
came  alongside  in  his  barge  and  knowing  where  they 
were  bound  asked  if  they  were  all  Quakers  and  gave 
them  his  blessing.  They  landed  their  passengers, 
consisting  of  two  hundred  and  thirty  persons,  above 
Raccoon  creek,  where  the  Swedes  had  some  scattering 
habitations.  There  were  too  manj'  of  them  to  be  all 
provided  for  in  liouses  and  consequently  some  were 
obliged  to  lay  their  beds  and  furniture  in  cow-stalls 
and  places  of  that  sort.  One  of  the  most  inconvenient 
things  to  which  they  were  exposed  was  the  snakes, 
which  took  up  their  abode  frequently  upon  the  hovels 
under  which  they  slept.  Some  of  the  passengers  in 
this  ship  were  of  good  estates  in  England,  but  most  of 
them  were  Quakers.  The  commissioners  who  had  left 
them  before  this  and  arrived  at  Chygoe's  Island  (aft- 
erward Burlington)  went  to  treat  with  the  Indians 
about  the  land  there  and  to  regulate  the  settlements. 
They  not  only  had  the  proprietors',  but  Gov.  Andros' 
commission  for  that  purpose ;  for  in  their  passage 
they  had  first  dropped  anchor  at  Sandy  Hook,  while 


HISTORY    OF  NEW  JERSEY.  15 

the  commissioners  went  to  New  York  to  acquaint  him 
with  their  design.  They  believed  that  the  powers 
they  had  from  the  pro|5riHrors  were  sufficient,  but' 
due  respect  for  the  Duke  of  York's  commission  re- 
quired them  to  call  upon  his  governor.  They  were 
treated  courteously  by  him,  but  he  asked  them  what 
they  had  to  show  from  the  Duke,  his  master.  They  told 
him  nothing,  particularly,  but  that  he  had  conveyed 
that  part  of  the  country  to  Lord  Berkely,  and  that  he 
had  in  turn  conveyed  it  to  Byllinge,  etc.,  in  which  the 
government  was  as  much  conveyed  as  the  soil. 

The  Governor  replied  that  all  that  would  not  clear 
him  and  that  if  he  should  surrender  without  the 
Dnke's  orders  it  would  be  as  much  as  his  head  was 
worth.  If  they  had  but  a  line  or  two  from  the  Duke 
he  would  be  as  ready  to  surrender  to  them,  as  they  to 
ask  it.  The  Commissioners  did  not  ask  for  any  ex- 
cuse for  their  neglect  to  bring  such  an  order,  but  in- 
sisted upon  their  right  and  asserted  their  independ- 
ence. Andros,  however,  clapping  his  hand  upon  his 
sword  told  them  that  he  should  defend  the  Govern- 
ment from  them  till  he  received  orders  from  the  Duke 
to  surrender  it.  Afterward,  however,  he  backed 
down  from  that  position  somewhat  and  told  them  that 
h»^  would  do  all  that  was  in  his  power  to  make  them 
easy,  till  they  could  send  home  to  get  redress ;  in 
order,  thereto,  he  would  commission  the  same  persons 
mentioned  in  the  commission  they  produced.  They 
accepted  that  and  commenced  to  act  as  magistrates 
under  him,  till  farther  orders  came  from  England,  and 
proceed  in  relation  to  their  land  affairs  according  to 
the  methods  prescribed  by  the  proprietors. 

»"When  aiTived  at  their  Government,  they  ap- 
plied to  the  Swedes  for  interpreters  between  them  and 
the  Indians.     Lacy  Cock,   Peter  Rambo  and  Israel 


16  HISTORY  OF  NEW  JERSEY. 

Helmes  were  employed.  Through  their  hel^)  a  pur- 
chase was  made  from  Timber  Creek  to  Raiilvokas 
Creek,  and  another  from  Oldman's  Greek  to  Timber 
Creek,  xlfter  this  they  purchased  hind  througli  an- 
other interpreter  that  they  employed — Henric  Jacobus 
Falconbre — from  Rankokas  Creek  to  Assunpink. 
They  had  not  enough  Indian  goods  to  pay  for  the 
last  purchase,  but  gave  them  what  they  had  to  get 
the  deed  signed.  They,  however,  stipulated  not  to 
settle  on  the  land  till  the  remainder  was  i)aid. 

"The  deed  for  the  lands  between  Rankokas  Creek 
and  Timber  Creek  bears  date  the  li)th  of  September^ 
1677;  that  for  the  lands  from  Oldman's  Creek  to  Tim- 
ber Creek,  the  21  tit  of  8eptenihei\  1677 ;  and  that 
from  Rankokas  Creek  to  Assunpink,  the  \Otli  of  Oct- 
ober^ 1677.  By  the  consideration  paid  for  the  lands 
between  Oldman  s  and  Timber  Creek,  a  judgment  may 
be  formed  of  the  rest.  It  consisted  of  30  match- coats, 
20  guns,  30  kettles  and  one  great  one,  30  pair  of  hose, 
20  fathoms  of  duifelds,  30  i^etticoats,  30  narrow  hose, 
30  bars  of  lead,  15  small  barrels  of  powder,  70  knives, 
30  Indian  axes,  70  combs,  60  pair  of  tobacco-tongs,  60 
scissors,  60  tinshaw  looking  glasses,  120  awl  blades, 
120  fish  hooks,  2  grasps  of  red  paint,  120  needles,  60 
tobacco  boxes,  120  pipes,  200  bells,  100  jewsharps  and 
6  anchors  of  rum." 

'  'Having  travelled  through  the  country  and  viewed 
the  land,  the  Yorkshire  Commissioners,  Joseph 
Helmsley,  William  Emley  and  Robert  Stacy  on  be- 
half of  the  first  purchasers,  chose  from  the  falls  of  the 
Delaware  down,  which  was  hence  called  the  first  tenth. 
The  London  Commissioners,  John  Penford,  Thomas 
Olive,  Daniel  Wills  and  Benjamin  Scott,  on  behalf  of 
the  ten  London  proprietors  chose  at  Arwaumas — in 
and  about  Avliere  the  town  of  Gloucester  now  is.    This 


HISTORY  OF  NEW  JERSEY.  17 

was  called  ^lle  second  tenth.  To  begin  a  settlement 
there  Olive  sent  up  servants  to  cut  hay  for  cattle  he 
had  bought.  When  the  Yorkshire  Commissioners 
found  that  the  others  were  likely  to  settle  at  such  a 
distance  they  told  them  that  if  they  would  agree  to 
stay  by  them  they  would  join  in  settling  a  town,  and 
that  they  should  have  the  largest  share  in  .considera- 
tion that  they — the  Yorkshire  Commissioners — had 
the  best  land  in  the  woods.  Being  few,  and  the  In- 
dians numerous,  they  agreed  to  it.  The  Commission- 
ers employed  Noble,  a  surveyor,  who  came  in  the  first 
ship,  to  divide  the  spot.  After  the  main  street  was 
ascertained  he  divided  the  land  on  each  side  into  lots; 
the  one  on  the  East  among  the  Yorkshire  proprietors, 
the  other  among  the  Londoners.  To  begin  a  settle- 
ment ten  lots  of  nine  acres  each  were  laid  out.  The 
London  commissioners  also  employed  Noble  to  divide 
the  part  of  the  island  yet  unsurveyed,  between  the 
ten  London  proprietors  in  the  manner  before  men- 
tioned. The  town  thus  by  mutual  consent  laid  out, 
,the  commissioners  gave  it  the  name  of  New-Beverley, 
then  Bridlington,  but  soon  changed  it  to  Burlington. 
Among  the  heads  of  families  which  came  in  the  ship 
last  mentioned  were  John  Wilkinson  and  William 
Perkins.  They  died  on  the  passage  and  their  fam- 
ilies were  exposed  to  additional  hardships,  which 
were  greatly  alleviated  by  the  care  of  their  fellow- 
passengers.  Perkins  was,  during  his  youthful  days, 
impressed  with  the  principles  of  the  Quakers,  and 
lived  well  in  Leicestershire  ;  but  coming  across  an 
account  of  the  country  written  by  Richard  Harts- 
horne  he  was  impressed  with  the  advantage  that  it 
might  be  be  to  himself  and  family  and  though  fifty- 
two  years  old  embarked  in  this  ship  with  his  wife, 
four  children  and  servants.     It  being  late  in  the  Fall 


18  HISTORY   OF  NEW  JERSEY. 

when  they  arrived,  Winter  was  aln  ost  gone  before 
they  began  to  build  their  habitation.-.  Ip  the  mean- 
time they  lived  in  temporary  shelters  built  after  the 
manner  of  the  Indian's  wigwam.  The  supplies  of 
Indian  corn  and  venison  brought  by  the  Indians  w^as 
their  chief  food.  These  poor -red  men  were  at  that 
time  comparatively  free  from  the  curse  of  strong 
liquors,  and  generally  very  friendly  to  the  Engli^h,. 
although  it  was  thought  that  endeavor  had  been  nuide 
to  make  them  otherwise  by  telling  them  that  the 
English  sold  them  the  small-pox  in  their  matchcoats. 

The  next  ship  that  came  over  was  the  WiUing 
Mind.,  commanded  by  John  Newcomb  and  having  on 
board  some  sixty  or  seventy  passengers.  She  dropped 
anchor  at  Elsingburg.  Some  settled  at  Salem  ;  others-^ 
at  Burlington.  In  this  year,  1677,  the  "Flie-boat 
Martha"  also  sailed  from  Hull  the  latter  end  of  the 
Summer  with  one  hundred  and  fourteen  passengers 
designed  to  settle  the  Yorkshire  tenth.  Several  settle- 
ments were  started  and  West  Jersey  became  as  early 
as  1680  quite  populous.  Some  heads  of  families  who 
came  over  in  the  "Flie-boat  Martha"  were  Thomas 
Wright,  William  Goforth,  John  Lynam,  Edward 
Season,  William  Black,  Richard  Dungworth,  George 
Miles,  William  Wood,  Thomas  Schooley,  Richard 
Harrison,  Thomas  Hooten,  Samuel  Taylor,  Marma- 
duke  Horsman,  William  Oxley,  William  Ley  and 
Nathaniel  Luke  ;  the  families  of  Robert  Stacy  and 
Samuel  Odas  ;  and  Thomas  Ellis  and  John  Botts, 
servants,  sent  by  George  Hutchinson,  also  came  in 
the  ship.  Twenty  of  the  passengers,  perhaps  more, 
were  living  forty-five  years  afterward."  —  SmWi's

"The  following,    extracted    from   a  letter  fromi- 
Mahlon  Stacy,  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  New  Jersey, 


HISTORY  OF  NEW  JERSEY.  19 

to  liis  brother  Revell  and  some  otliers,  is  descriptive 
of  West  Jersey  at  this  period.  It  is  dated  26th  of 
April,  1680  : 

"Bat  now  a  word  or  two  of  those  strange  reports  you 
have  heard  of  us  and  our  country;  I  afSrm  they  are  not  true, 
and  fear  they  were  spoke  from  a  spirit  of  envy.  It  is  a  country 
that  produceth  all  things  for  the  support  and  sustenance  of 
man,  in  a  plentiful  manner  ;  if  it  were  not  so  I  should  be 
ashamed  of  what  I  have  before  written.  Bat  I  can  stand,  having 
truth  on  my  side,  against  and  before  the  face  of  all  gain-sayers 
and  evil  spies.  I  have  travelled  through  most  of  the  places 
that  are  settled,  and  some  that  are  not;  and  in  every  place  I 
find  the  country  very  apt  to  answer  the  expectation  of  the 
diligent.  I  have  seen  orchards  laden  with  fruit  to  admii'ation, 
their  limbs  torn  to  pieces  with  the  weight,  and  most  deUcious 
to  the  taste,  and  lovely  to  behold.  I  have  seen  an  apple  tree 
fi-om  a  pippin-kernel  yield  a  barrel  of  curious  cyder;  and 
peaches  in  such  plenty  that  some  people  took  theii'  carts  a- 
peach-gathering;  I  could  not  but  smile  at  the  conceit  of  it. 
They  are  a  very  delicate  fruit  and  hang  almost  like  our  onions 
that  are  tied  on  ropes.  I  have  seen  and  known  this  summer 
forty  bushels  of  bold  wheat  of  one  bushel  sown ;  and  many 
more  such  instances  I  could  bring  which  would  be  too  tedious 
here  to  mention.  We  have,  from  the  time  called  May  until 
Michaelmas,  great  store  of  very  good  wild  fruits,  as  straw- 
berries, cranberries  and  hurtleberries,  which  are  like  our 
bilberries  in  England,  but  far  sweeter  ;  they  are  very  whole- 
some fruits.  The  cranberries  are  very  much  like  cherries  for 
color  and  bigness,  which  may  be  kept  till  fruit  comes  in  again. 
An  excellent  sauce  is  made  of  them  for  venison,  turkeys  and 
other  great  fowl ;  and  they  are  better  to  make  tarts  than  either 
gooseberries  or  cherries,  We  have  them  brought  to  our  houses 
by  the  Indians  in  great  plenty.  My  brother,  Kobert,  had  as 
many  cherries  this  year  as.  would  have  loaded  several  carts. 
It  is  my  judgment,  by  what  I  have  observed,  that  fruit  trees 
in  this  country  destroy  themselves  by  the  very  weight  of  their 
fruit.     As  for  venison  and  fowls,   we  have  great  plenty;  we 


20  HISTORY    OP  NEW  JERSEY. 

have  brought  home  to  our  houses  by  t!ie  Indians,  seven  oi ' 
eight  fat  bucks  of  a  day,  and  sometimes  put  by  as  many  having- 
no  occasion  for  them.  And  fish,  in  tbeir  season,  are  very 
plenteous.  •My  cousin,  Revell  and  I,  with  some  of  my  men. 
went  last  third  month  into  the  river  to  catch  herrings  ;  for  at 
that  time  tliey  came  in  great  shoals  into  the  shallows.  AVe 
had  neither  rod  nor  net,  but  after  the  Indian  fashion,  made  a 
round  pinfold,  about  two  yards  over  and  a  foot  high,  but  left 
a  gap  for  the  fish  to  go  in  at  ;  and  made  a  bush  to  lay  in  the 
gap  to  keep  the  fish  in  ;  and  when  that  was  done  we  took  two 
long  birches  and  tied  theu*  tops  together,  and  went  about  a 
stone's  cast  above  our  said  pinfold  ;  then  hauHng  these  birch 
boughs  down  the  stream,  where  we  drove  thousands  before 
us,  but  as  many  got  into  our  trap  as  it  would  hold.  And  then 
we  began  to  haul  them  on  shore,  as  fast  as  fast  as  three  or 
four  of  us  could,  by  two  or  three  at  a  time  ;  and  after  this 
manner,  in  half  an  hour,  we  could  have  filled  a  three-bushel 
sack  of  as  good  and  large  herring  as  ever  I  saw.  And  as  to 
beef  and  pork,  there  is  plenty  of  it,  and  cheap;  and  also  good 
sheep.  The  common  grass  of  this  country  feeds  beef  very 
fat ;  I  have  killed  two  this  year  and  therefore  I  have  reason 
to  know  it.  Besides,  I  have  seen  killed  this  fall  in  Burlington, 
eight  or  nine  fat  oxen  or  cows  on  a  market  day,  and  all  very 
fat.  And  though  I  speak  of  herrings  only,  lest  any  should 
think  we  have  little  other  sorts,  we  have  great  plenty  of  most 
sorts  of  fish  -that  I  ever  saw  in  England,  besides  several  other 
sorts  that  are  not  known  there- — as  rocks,  catfish,  shads, 
sheep's  heads,  sturgeons  ;  and  fowls  plenty  —  as  ducks,  geese, 
turkeys,  pheasants,  partridges  and  many  other  sorts  that  I 
cannot  remember  and  would  be  too  tedious  to  mention.  In- 
deed, the  country,  take  it  as  a  wilderness,  is  a  brave  country ; 
though  no  place  wiU  please  all.  But  some  wiU  be  ready  to 
say,  he  writes  of  conveniences  and  not  of  inconveniences.  In 
answer  to  those  I  honestly  declare,  there  is  some  barren  land, 
as  (I  suppose)  there  is  in  most  placss  of  the  world,  and  more 
wood  than  some  would  have  upon  their  lands  ;,  neither  will 
the   country  produce   corn   without  labor,  nor  cattle  be  got

without  something  to  buy  them,  nor  bread  with  idleness  —  elss 
it  would  be  a  brave  country  indeed.  And  I  question  not  but 
all  then  would  give  it  a  good  word.  For  my  part  I  like  it  so 
well  I  never  had  the  least  thougnt  of  returning  to  England, 
except  on  the  account  of  trade.  Mahlon  Stacy. 

In  a  letter  to  William  Cook,  of  Sheffield,  and 
others,  Stacy  wrote  thus  : 

"  This  is  a  most  brave  place ;  whatever  envy  or  evil  spies 
may  speak  of  it,  I  could  wish  you  aU  here.  Burlington  will 
be  a  place  of  trade  quickly;  for  here  is  way  for  trade;  I,  with 
eight  others,  last  winter,  bought  a  good  ketch  of  fifty  ions, 
freighted  her  oufc  at  our  own  charge,  and  sent  her  to  Barba- 
does,  and  so  to  sail  to  Saltertugas,  to  take  in  part  of  her  lading 
in  salt  and  the  rest  in  Barbadoes  goods  as  she  came  back  ; 
which  said  voyage  she  hath  accomplished  very  well  and  now 
rides  before  Burlington,  discharging  her  lading,  and  so  to  go 
to  the  West  Indies  again.  And  we  intend  to  freight  her  out 
with  oui-  own  corn.  We  have  wanted  nothing  since  we  came 
hither  but  the  compauy  of  our  good  friends  and  acquaintances. 
All  our  people  are  very  well,  and  in  a  hopeful  way  lo  live  much 
better  than  ever  they  did ;  and  not  only  so,  but  to  provide 
well  for  their  posterity.  They  improve  their  lands,  and  have 
good  crops  ;  and  if  our'  friends  and  countrymen  come,  they 
will  find  better  reception  than  we  had  by  far  at  first,  before 
the  country  was  settled  as  now  it  is.  I  know  not  one  among 
the  people  that  desires  to  be  in  England  again  — I  mean  since 
settled.  I  wonder  at  our  Yorkshire  people  that  they  had 
rather  Uve  in  servitude  and  work  hard  all  the  year,  and  not  be 
three  pence  better  at  the  year's  end,  than  stu-  out  of  the  chim- 
ney-corner, and  transport  themselves  to  a  place  where,  with 
the  hke  pains;  in  two  or  three  years,  they  might  know  better 
things.  I  never  repented  my  coming  hither,  nor  yet  remem- 
bered thy  arguments  and  outcry  against  New  Jersey  with 
regret.  I  live  as  weU  to  my  content  and  m  as  great  plenty  as 
ever  I  did  ;  and  in  a  far  more  likely  way  to  get  an  estate. 
Though  I  hear  some  have  thought  I  was  too  large  in  my 
former,  I  affirm  it  to  be  true  ;  having  seen  more  with  mine

Mahlon  Stacy. 
"  From  the  Falls  of  Delaware,   in    West  New 
Jersey,  the  2&h  day  of  the  Ath  month,  1680." 

The  death  of  Sir  George  Carteret,  sole  proprietor 
of  East  Jersey,  occurred  in  1679,  and  by  will  he 
ordered  that  province  to  be  sold  to  pay  his  debts. 
This  was  done  by  his  ^'' widow  and  executors,  by  in- 
denture of  lease  and  release,  bearing  date  the  1st  and 
2d  of  February,  1681-82,  to  William  Penn,  Robert 
West,  Thomas  Rudj'ard,  Samuel  Gi'oome,  Thomas 
Hart.  Richard  Mew,  Thomas  Wilcox  of  London 
(goldsmith),  Ambrose  Rigg,  John  Haywood.  Hugh 
Hartshorn,  Clement  Plumsted,  and  Thomas  Cooper, 
their  heirs  and  assigns  ;  who  were  thence  called  tJie 
tweloe  proprietors.  They,  being  together  so  seized, 
in  this  year  published  an  account  of  their  country,  a 
fresh  project  for  a  town,  snd  method  of  disposing  of 
their  lands." 

The  following  are  extracts  from  the  above  : 
Second  The  conveniency  of  situation,  temperature 
of  air  and  fertility  of  soil  is  such,  that  there  are  no  less 
than  seven  considerable  towns,  viz :  Shrewsbury, 
Middletown,  Bergen,  Newark,  Elizabethtown,  Wood- 
bridge  and  Piscataway  ;  which  are  well  inhabited  by 
a  sober  and  industrious  people,  who  have  necessary 
provisions  for  themselves  and  families,  and  for  the 
comfortable  entertainment  of  strangers  and  travellers. 
And  this  colony  is  ex'perimentall}^  tV)und  generally  to 
agi'ee  with  English  constitutions

FouKTJi.  For  lishery,  the  sea  banks  thei-e  are  very 
well  stored  with  variety  of  tish  —  for  not  only  such  as 
are  profitable  for  transportation,  but  such  also  as  are 
fit  for  food  there  ;  as  whales,  codiish,  cole  and  hake 
fish,  large  mackerel,  and  also  many  other  sorts  of  flat 


HISTORY  OP  NEW  JERSEY.  23 

and  small  fish.  The  bay  also,  and  Hudson's  river,  are 
plentifally  stored  with  sturgeon,  great  bass,  and  other 
scale -fish,  eels,  and  shell -fish,  as  oysters,  etc.,  in  great 
plenty,  and  easy  to  take.         *        ^        * 

Seventh.  The  land  or  soil  (as  in  other  i^laces) 
varies  in  goodness  and  richness  ;  but  generally  fertilt-, 
and  with  much  smaller  labor  than  in  England.  It 
'produceth  plentiful  crops  of  all  sorts  of  English  grain, 
l)esides  Indian  corn,  w^hich  the  English  planters  find 
not  only  to  be  of  vast  increase,  but  very  wholesome 
and  good  in  its  use;  it  also  produceth  good  flax  and 
hemp,  which  they  now  spin  and  manufacture  into 
linen  cloth.  There  is  sufficient  meadow  and  marsh  to 
their  uplands ;  and  the  very  barrens  there,  as  they 
are  called,  are  not  like  some  in  England,  but  produce 
grass  fit  for  grazing  cattle  in  summer  season. 

Eighth.  The  country  is  well  stored  with  wild  deer, 
conies  and  wild  fowl  of  several  sorts  — as  turkeys, 
pigeons,  partridges,  plover,  quails,  wild  swans,  geese, 
ducks,  etc.,  in  great  plenty.  It  produceth  variety  of 
good  and  delicious  fruits  —  as  grapes,  plums,  mul- 
berries ;  and  also  apricots,  peaches,  pears,  apples, 
quinces,  watermelons,  etc.,  which  are  here  in  England 
planted  in  orchards  and  gardens.  These  as  also  many 
other  fruits,  which  come  not  to  perfection  in  England, 
are  the  more  natural  product  of  this  country. 

NiT^TH.  There  is  also  already  great  store  of  horses, 
cows,  hogs,  and  some  sheep,  which  may  be  bought  nt 
reasonable  prices,  with  English  moneys  or  English 
commodities  or  man's  labor,  where  money  and  goods 
are  wanting. 

"Tenth.  What  sort  of  mines  or  minerals  there  are 
in  the  earth,  aftertime  must  produce,  the  inhabitants 
not  having  yet  employed  themselves  in  search  thereof ; 
but  there  is  already  a  smelting  furnace  and  forge  set 


24  HISTORY  OF  NEW  JERSEY. 

up  in  this  colony,  where  is  made  good  iron,  which  is 
of  great  benefit  to  the  country." 

"Elp:venth.  It  is  exceedingly  well  furnished  with 
safe  and  convenient  harbors  for  shipping,  which  are 
of  great  advantage  to  that  country  ;  and  affords  al- 
ready, for  exportation,  great  plenty  of  horses,  and 
also  beef,  pork,  pipe-staves,  boards,  bread,  tlour, 
wheat,  barley,  rye,  Indian  corn,  butter  and  cheese, 
which  they  export  for  Barbadoes,  Jamaica,  Nevis,' 
and  other  adjacent  islands  ;  as  also  to  Portugal,  Spain, 
the  Canaries,  etc.  Their  whale-oil  and  whale  fins, 
beaver,  mink,  raccoon  and  martin  skins  (which  this 
country  produceth),  they  transport  to  Eiigland." 

'•Tjiirteejsith.  The  Indian  natives  in  this  country 
are  but  few  comparative  to  the  neighboring  colonies  ; 
and  those  that  are  there  are  so  far  from  being  forniid 
able  or  injurious  to  the  planters  or  inhabitants,  thnt 
they  are  really  servicnable  and  advantageous  to  the 
English  —  not  only  in  hunting  and  taking  the  deer 
and  other  wild  creatures,  and  catching  of  fish  and 
fowl  fit  for  food,  in  their  seasons,  but  in  the  killing 
and  destroying  of  bears,  wolves,  foxes,  and  other 
vermin  and  peltry,  whose  skins  and  furs  they  bring 
the  English,  and  sell  at  less  i)ri('e  than  the  value  of 
time  an  Englishman  must  spend  to  take  them.  *  ^ 
As  for  passages  to  this  province  ships  are  going  hence 
the  whole  year  about,  as  well  in  winter  as  in  summer, 
Sandy  Hook  bay  being  never  frozen.  The  usual 
price  is  five  pounds  per  head,  as  well  masters  or 
servants,  who  are  ab<)ve  ten  years  of  age;  all  undei- 
ten  years  and  not  children  at  the  breast,  pay  fifty 
shillings  ;  sucking  children  pay  nothing.  Carriage 
of  goods  is  usually  fori^y  shillings  per  ton,  and  some- 
times less,  as  we  can  agree.  The  cheapest  and  chiefest 
time  of  the  year  for  passage  is  from  midsummer  till 


HISTORY    OF  NEW  JERSEY.  25 

the  latter  end  of  September,  when  many  Virginia  and 
Maryland  ships  are  going  out  of  England  into  those 
pa)"ts ;  and  such  who  take  them  their  voyage,  arrive 
usually  in  good  time  to  plant  corn  sufficient  for  next 
summer.  The  goods  to  be  carried  there,  are,  first,  for 
people' s  own  use  ;  all  sorts  of  apparel  and  household 
stuff  ;  and  also  utensils  for  husbandry  and  building  ; 
secondly,  linen  and  wool  cloths  and  stuffs,  fitting  for 
apparel  etc.,  which  are  fit  for  merchandise  and  truck 
there  in  the  country,  and  that  to  good  advantage  for 
the  importer  —  of  which  farther  account  will  be  given 
to  the  inquirer. 

Lastly.  Although  this  country,  by  reason  of  its 
being  already  considerably  inhabited,  may  afford 
many  conveniences  to  strangers,  of  which  unpeopled 
■connlries  are  destitute,  as  lodging,  victualling,  etc., 
yet  all  persons  inclining  unto  thesn  parts  must  know 
that,  in  their  settlement  there,  they  will  find  their 
exercises.  They  must  have  their  winter  as  well  as 
summer.  They  must  labor  before  they  reap  ;  and, 
till  their  plantations  be  cleared  (in  summer  time),  thej^ 
must  expect  (as  in  all  those  countries)  the  mosquitoes, 
flies,  gnats,  and  such  like,  may,  in  hot  and  fair 
weather  give  them  some  disturbance  where  people 
provide  not  against  them  —  which,  as  land  is  cleared, 
become  less  troublesome. 

The  twelve  proprietors'  plans  and  purposes  were 
well  received  especially  by  the  people  of  Scotland, 
many  of  whom  came  across  the  ocean  and  took  up 
their  abode  in  East  Jersey. 

Each  of  the  twelve  proprietors  soon  took  another 
partner  and  made  over  the  particular  deeds  and  they 
were  afterwards  designated  as  the  twenty-four  pro- 
prietors. On  the  14th  of  March,  1682,  the  Duke  of 
York  made  a  new  grant  of  East  New  Jersey  to  these 


26  HISTORY    OP  NEW  JERSEY. 

twenty-four  proprietors. 

At  this  time  there  were  supposed  to  be  about 
seven  hundred  families  settled  in  the  towns  of  East 
Jersey,  which,  reckoning  five  to  a  family,  were  three 
thousand  and  five  hundred  inhabitants  ;  besides  the 
out  plantations  which  were  thought  to  contain  half 
as  many  more.'' 

Philip  Carteret  continued  to  be  the  governor  of 
East  New  Jersey  after  the  "quinty-partite ''  division 
till  about  the  year  1681.  -'His  salary  was  geneially 
£50  a  year  x)aid  in  country  produce,  at  prices  iix^d  by 
law;  and  sometimes  four  shillings  a  day  besides,  to 
defray  his  charges  while  a  sessions  was  held.  The 
wages  t)f  the  council  and  assembly,  during  their  sitting 
in  legislation,  was  to  each  member  three  shillings  a 
day.  The  rates  for  public  charges  were  levied  at  two 
shillings  i^er  head  for  every  male  above  fourteen  years 
old." 

Por  the  most  part  the  assembly  sat  at  Elizabeth- 
town  and  held  its  sessions  there,  occasionally,  how- 
ever, at  Woodbridge,  and  once  or  more  at  Middletown 
and  Piscataway. 

"  Some  of  the  first  laws  as  published  by  the  legis- 
lature at  Elizabethtown,  were,  in  substance :  That 
persons  resisting  authority  should  be  punished  at  the 
dii^cretion  of  the  court ;  that  men  from  sixteen  to 
sixty  years  of  age  should  provide  themselves  with 
arms,  on,  penalty  of  one  shilling  for  the  first  week's 
neglect,  and  two  for  every  week  after;  that  for  burg 
lary,  or  highway  robbery,  the  first  offence,  burning 
the  hand  ;  the  second,  in  the  forehead  —  in  both  to 
make  restitution ;  and  for  the  tliird  offence,  death. 
For  stealing,  the  first  offence,  treble  restitution,  and 
the  like  for  second  and  third  offence,  with  such 
increase  of  punishment  as  the  court  saw  cause,  even

-  CO  deatli,   if  the  party  appeared   incorrigible ;  but  if 
not,  and  unable  to  make  restitution,  they  were  to  be 
sold    for  satisfaction  or  to  receive  corporal  punish- 
meni.      That  conspiracies  or  attacks  upon  towns  or 
forts    should    be    death ;     that    undutif ul    children, 
smiting   or   cursing  their   father   or   mother,    except 
provoked  thereunto  for  self-preservation,  upon  com- 
plaint of,  and  proof  from  their  23arents,   or  either  of 
them,  should  be  punished  with  death  ;  that  in  case  of 
adultery,  the  party  to  be  divorced,  corporally  punished 
or  banished,  or  either  or  all  of  them,  as  the  court  should 
judge  proper  ;    that   for  night- walking  and  revelling 
after  the  hour  of  nine,  the  j)arties  to  be  secured  by  the 
constable,  or  other  officer,  till  morning,  and  then,  n(jt 
giving  a  satisfactory  account  to  the  magistrate,  to  be 
bound  over  to  the  next  court,  and  there  receive  such 
punishment  as  should  be  inflicted.     That  the  meeting 
of  the  assembly  should  be  always  on  the  first  Tuesday 
■  in  November,  yearly,  and  of tener  if  the  Governor  and 
Council  thought  necessary  ;  and  that  they  should  fix 
the  Governor's  salary  —  the  dei^uties  of  each  town  to 
be  chosen  on  the  first   of  January,  according  to  the 
concessions.      Any  deputy  absenting  himself  at  such 
times  was  to  be  fined  forty  shillings  for  every  day's 
absence.      That   thirty   pounds   should   be  levied  for 
provincial  charges  —  i.  e.,  £5  to  be  paid  by  each  town 
in  winter  wheat,  at  five  shillings  a  bushel,  summer 
wheat  at  four  and  six  pence,  peas  at  three  shillings 
and  six  pence,   Indian  corn  at  three  shillings,   rye  at 
four  shillings,  barley  at  four  shillings,  beef  at  two- 
pence half-penny  per  pound,  and  pork  at  three-pence 
half- penny.      That  no  son,  daughter,  maid  or  servant

some  public  house  near  wliere  they  lived,  for  fourteen 
days  before;  then  to  be  solemnized  by  some  approved 
minister,  justice,  or  chief  officer,  who,  on  penalty  of 
twenty  pounds,  and  to  be  put  out  of  office,  were  to 
marry  none  who  had  not  followed  those  directions." 

Robert  Barclay,  a  Scotchman,  was  one  of  the  new 
proprietors  of  East  Jersey.  He  was  the  author  of  the 
noted  "Apology"  in  defence  of  the  Friends  and 
Quakers.  He  was  appointed  governor  of  East  Jersey 
for  life  by  the  unanimous  voice  of  his  colleagues,  with 
dispensation  from  personal  residence  and  authority  to 
nominate  his  deputy.  He  appointed  Thomas  Rud- 
yard,  who  arrived  about  the  beginning  of  1688.  He 
was  superseded,  however,  as  deputy-governor,  at  the 
close  of  the  year,  by  Gawen  Lawrie,  likewise  of  Lon- 
don, the  same  who  had  been  one  of  Byllinge's  trustees 
for  West  Jersey.  Lawrie  was  succeeded  by  Lord  Niel 
Campbell,  and  he  by  Alexander  Hamilton,  Esq. 

West  Jersey  added  a  great  numy  settlers  to  its 
population  in  1680  and  was  tolerably  populous.  In 
1681,  Samuel  Jennings  having  received  a  commission 
from  Byllinge  as  deputy  governor,  came  to  West 
Jersey,  called  an  assembly,  and  with  them  agreed 
upon  a  constitution  and  form  of  government.  From 
this  time  on  assemblies  were  lield  each  yeai'  ;  courts 
were  established  in  several  places  and  "justice  was 
administered  in  due  course  of  law."  Jenning's  suc- 
cessors in  the  executive  department  were,  Thomas 
Olive,  John  Skeine,  AVilliam  Welsh,  Daniel  Coxe  and 
Andrew  Hamilton.  The  last  named  continued  to  h(jld 
the  governorship  until*  the  charter  of  the  proprietors 
was  surrendered  to  the  Crown. 

The  Duke  of  York  was  in  1685,  by  the  death  of 
Charles  II,  raised  to  the   throne   as  James  II,  and,.

notwithstaiiding  h^^  had  thrice  conveyed  and  confirmed 
to  others  all  the  right>^,   poweis  and  privileges  he  had 
in  New  Jersey,   he  lesolved  to  extend  his  royal  pre- 
rogative over   it    in    older    to   increase   his  revenues. 
The  propri^rois  weie  rot  silent  under  this  arbitrarj- 
action  of  the  King.      In  a  petition   to   the  King  in 
council  they  recited   some   of   the  encroachments  of 
Donga n  in  relation  to  tlie   seizure  of  vessels  tradiuir 
to  New  Jeisey  as  calculated  to   ''overthrow  one  of 
the  mo^t  hopeful  colonies  in  America."     In  a  remon- 
strance  subsequently    presented    to   the   King   they 
reminded  him  that  they  had  not  received  the  province 
as  a  gratuity,  but  had  expended  for  it  twelve  thousand 
pounds  ;  that  under  his  own  confirmation  of  their  title 
and  assurance   of  protection   they   had   sent  thither 
several  hundred  people  from  Scotland,  but  as  yet  had 
received  no  retums  ;  and  that  notwithstanding  these 
guarantees   their    rights    had   been   violated   by   the 
govern(U'  of  New  York'     They  indicated  their  willing- 
ness to  submit  to  an   imposition  of  the  same  customs 
that   were   levied   in    New   York,    and   among  other 
prayers  requested  thar   a   customs   officer  might   be 
appointed  at  Perth  Am  boy      The  last  request  was  the 
only  one  granted,  as  it  promised  additional  revenue 
and  did  not  conflict  with  the  designs  he  then  had  in 
view. 

"On  the  0th  of  April,  1686,  the  assembly  met  for 
the  first  time  at  tke  new  seat  of  government,  Perth 
Amboy.  Lawrie  was  succeeded  by  Lord  Neil  Camp- 
bell in  the  same  year.  His  council  was  composed  of 
Gawen  Lawrie,  Major  John  Barry  of  Bergen,  Isaac 
Kingsland  of  New  Barbadoes,  Capt.  Andrew  Hamilton 
of  Amboy,  Richard  Townly  of  Elizabethtown,  Samuel 
Winder  of  Cheesequake,  David  Mudieand  John  John- 
son of  Amboy,  and  Thomas  Codrington  of  Raritan. 


■so  HISTORY  OF  NEW  JERSEY. 

^'Tliis  year,  1686,  seems   to  have  been  a  dangerous 
one  if  the  hiw  against  wearing  swords  was  properly 
founded.       According   to    tliat   several    persons   had 
received   abuses   and    were    i)ut   in   great    fear   from 
quarrels  and  chalienges  :  to  X)i't?vent  it  for  the  future, 
none,  by  word  or  message,  were  to  make  a  challenge, 
upon  pain  of  six  months'  imprisonment,  without  bail 
or  niainprize  and  a  ten  pound  tine.    Whoever  accepted 
or  concealed   the   challenge   was   also  to   forfeit   ten 
pounds.     No  person  was  to  wear  any  pocket  ]>istols, 
skeins,  still  aders,  daggers,  or  dirks,  or  other  unusual 
weapons,  upon  jmin  of  live  pounds  forfeiture  for  the 
hrst  offence,  and  for  the  second  to  be  committed,  and 
on  conviction  imprisoned  for  six  months  ;  and  more- 
over, to  i)ay  a  fine  of  ten  i;)ounds.     No  planter  was  to 
go  armed  with  sword,  i^istol  or  dagger,  upon  penalty 
of  five  pounds.     Officers,  civil  and  military,    soldiers 
in  service,  and  strangers  travelling  upon  lawful  occa- 
sions were  excex)ted." 

In  1687  there  was  a  partial  failure  of  crops  in 
West  Jersey,  and  many  of  the  settlers  were  put  to 
great  difiicidties.  Many  families  were  forced  to  a(;cept 
the  charities  of  the  few  who  were  luckily  better  pro- 
vided for.  Those  who  lived  near  the  rivers  were 
forced  to  live  upon  fish  for  weeks,  and  some  who  did 
not,  lived  upgn  herbs.  A  vessel  laden  with  corn  going 
from  New  England  to  Philadelphia  jiroved  an  agree- 
able surprise,  and  i-eadily  sold  its  cargo.  Other  vessels 
speedily  followed  and  the  settlers  were  not  at  any 
time  afterward  put  to  such  straits  for  want  of  food. 

"The  year  1701  was  a  memorable  era  in  the  his- 
tory of  New  Jersey  on  account  of  the  disturbances 
and  confusicms  that  agitated  the  minds  of  the  people. 
Each  province  had  numy  and  different  proprietors, 
who  j)romoted  separate  and  intervening  schemes  and

interests.  To  promote  particular  purposes,  one  party 
waiild  have  the  choice  and  management  of  the  gov- 
ernor, while  another  refused  any  but  of  their  own 
nomination  ;  and  a  third  objected  to  proposals  from 
either  Discord  prevailed,  and  everj^  expedient  to  re- 
store order,  union  and  regularity  proved  unsuccessful. 
The  disorders  in  East  Jersey  made  such  an  impression 
on  the  minds  of  many  of  the  people,  that  they  readily 
hearkened  to  overtures  made  for  a  surrender  of  the 
proprietary  government.  A  considerable  part  of 
West  Jersey  was  also,  for  similar  reasons,  disposed 
to  a  resignation.  The  proprietors,  weary  of  contend- 
ing with  each  other,  and  with  the  j)eople,  drew  up  an 
instrument,  wdiereby  they  surrendered  their  right  of 
government  to  the  crowii,  wdiich  was  accepted  by 
Queen  Anne  on  the  17th  of  April,' 1702." 

As  soon  as  the  transfer  of  the  right  of  government 
from  the, proprietors  to  the  Queen  had  been  made, 
Queen  Anne  again  united  East  and  West  Jersey  and 
gave  its  government  into  the  hands  of  her  kinsman, 
Edward  Hyde,  Lord  Cornbury,  grandson  of  the  Chan- 
cellor, Earl  of  Clarendon.  "The  commission  and  in- 
structions which  Cornbury  received  formed  the  con- 
stitution and  government  of  the  province,  until  its 
declaration  of  indepnndence.  The  new  government 
was  composed  of  the  Governor  and  twelve  councilors, 
nominated  by  the  Crown,  and  an  assembly  of  twenty- 
four  members,  to  be  elected  by  the  people,  for  an  in- 
dehnate  term,  whose  sessions  were  to  be  held,  alter- 
nately at  Perth  Amboy  and  Burlington.  Among  the 
numerous  instructions  given  to  the  Governor  was  one 
directing  'to  permit  liberty  of  conscience  to  all  per- 
sons (except  Papists,)  so  they  may  be  contented  with 
a  quiet  and  peaceful  enjoyment  of  the  same,  not 
giving  offence  or    scandal  to  the  government;'   also

stating  that,  '  Forasmuch  as  great  inconveniences 
may  arise  by  tlie  Hhertii  of  priiitiiuj  in  our  said 
province,  you  to  provide  by  all  necessary  orders,  that 
no  person  keep  any  press  for  printing,  nor  that  any 
book,  pamphlet  or  other  matters  whatsoever,  be 
])rinted  without  your  special  leave  and  license  first 
obtained/  '" 

At  this  time  it  is  said  that  there  were  about 
20,U()0  inhabitants  belonging  to  the  province— 1,200 
of  whom  belonged  to  East  and  8,000  to  West  Jersey. 
There  were  about  1,400  militia.  The  trade  of  the 
X)rovince  was  considerable.  To  the  West  Indies  it 
sent  agricultural  produce ;  to  the  English  ■market, 
furs,  skins  and  tobacco ;  to  Spain.  Portugal  and  the 
Canary  Islands,  oil,  fish  and  other  provisions. 

Lord  Cornbury  came  over  from  England  in  1703 
and  held  the  office  of  Governor  for  five  years,  when 
the  loud  complaints  of  the  people  forced  the  Queen  to 
revoke  his  commission.  He  w^as  heavily  in  debt  and 
as  soon  as  he  lost  his  ofhce  his  creditors  i)ounced  upon 
him  and  put  him  in  prison  in  the  same  province  that 
lie  had  governed.  There  he  remained  till  his  father 
died.  He  was  by  his  father's  death  elevated  to  the 
peerage  and  entitled  to  his  liberty.  Lord  Cornbury 
was  almost  universally  detested  -by  his  people.  His 
behavior  was  trifling,  mean  and  extravagant.  He 
would  dress  himself  ///  ioome?i,s  dothinr/  and  patrol 
the  fort  in  which  he  lived.  Such  low  freaks  exposed 
him  to  ridicule  and  contempt  He  kindled  the  indig- 
nation of  the  people  by  his  despotic  rule,  savage 
bigotry,  insatiable  avarice,  and  injustice,  not  oidy  to 
his  x)rivate  creditors,  but  to  the  i)ublic  as  well. 

The  successor  of  Cornbury  was  John,  Lord  Love- 
lace, Baron  of  Hurley,  who  summoned  the  council  to 
meet  him    at    Bergen,    December   20th,    1708.       The 


"HISTORY  OF  NEW  JERSEY.  83 

.hopes  entertained,  from  his  exalted  character,  of  a 
peaceful  and  happy  time  during  his  administration, 
were  not  realized.  He  died  on  the  succeeding  5th  of 
May.  The  governorship  now  devolved  u^jon  Lieuten- 
ant-governor Ingoldsby,  wdio  laid  before  the  assembly 
the  design  of  the  Crown  respecting  an  expedition 
against  Canada.  "  The  assembly  prepared  three 
bills,  one  for  raising  £8,000  and  another  for  enforcing 
its  currency,  and  a  third  for  the  encouragement  of 
volunteers  going  on  the  Canada  expedition.  These 
bills  having  received  the  Governors  assent,  the  house 
was  adjourned  to  the  iirst  of  November,  to  meet  at 
Burlington.  They  met  accordingly,  bnt  deferred 
business  till  December,  when  they  sat  ten  weeks, 
passed  eighteen  bills,  were  then  adjourned,  and  after- 
ward x^rorogued,  from  time  to  time  till  dissolved  by 
(Tovernor  Hunter  in  1710. 

According  to  ^'^'//iIW  s  Hid.  of  N.  J.  this  action 
of  the  Assembly  in  raising  £3,000  "began  the  paper 
currency  in  New  Jeisey.  The  care  of  the  legislature 
respecting  it,  in  this  and  all  the  succeeding  emissions, 
being  to  render  the  funds  for  sinking,  according  to 
the  acts  that  created  it,  secure,  and  to  prevent  the 
currency  failing  in  value  ;  by  changing  the  bills  as 
they  became  ragged  and  torn,  and  allowing  no  re- 
emissions  on  any  other  account  whatever.  It  has 
thence,  from  the  beginning,  preserved  its  credit  and 
proved  of  great  service  to  the  proprietors  in  the  sale 
of  their  lands,  and  to  the  settlers  in  enabling  them  to 
purchase  and  contract,  and  pay  English  debts  and  go 
on  with  their  improvements.  The  securities,  when 
issued  on  loans,  were  double  the  value  in  lands,  or 
treble  in  houses,  and  hve  per  cent  interest  ;  but  now 
(1765)  there  is  none  current  on  this  footing.  The 
funds  for   sinking,    by"  tax,    the   money  created   for

the  expedition  and  other  pnr])oses  are  nioitguiies 
(secured  in  the  acts  that  make  the  respective  emis- 
sions) on  the  estates,  real  and  personal,  in  The  province; 
hence  they  are  secured  as  firmly  as  the  x^rovince  itself. 
They  are  legal  tender  to  all  the  inhabitants  in  the 
province,  and  elsewhere,  but  not  to  others,  except 
while  in  the  province,  Tlif  remittances  of  this  prov- 
ince to  England,  being  chietly  from  New  York  and 
Philadelphia,  and  the  bills  no  legal  tender  there,  they 
can  never  operate  to  the  prejudice  of  English  debts, 
let  exchange  be  as  it  may  ;  because  none  there  are 
obliged  to  take  them.  This  is  a  particularity  only 
belonging  to  the  state  of  trade  of  New  Jersey  and 
renders  a  paper  currency  there  free  from  the  objection 
usually  made  against  it  in  England." 

Governor  Hunter  administered  the  affairs  of  the 
province  for  ten  years,  from  1710  to  1720,  and  then 
returned  to  England,  having  resigned  in  favor  of 
William  Burnet,  the  son  of  the  celebrated  Bishop. 
He  loved  money  and  had  a  ready  art  of  procuring  it. 
He  drifted  into  gambling  schemes  and  lost  consider- 
able money.  He  made  a  tolerably  acceptable  officer. 
During  Governor  Burnet's  administration  the  assem- 
bly pas-ed  some  remarkable  bills,  one  of  Avliich  was 
to  fix  the  salary  of  the  Governor  for  five  years  at 
£'500  per  annum,  and  that  authorizing  the  issue  of 
£40,000  in  bills  of  credit,  with  the  view,  principally, 
of  increasing  the  circulating  medium  of  the  colony. 
"The  country  had  been  drained  of  its  metallic  currency, 
and  as  the  pajier  currency  of  the  neighboring  colonies 
was  not  a  legal  tender  in  the  j)i^ynit>iit  of  debts,  much 
embarrassment  was  produced.  They  sometimes  paid 
their  taxes  in  broken  plates,  ear-rings  and  wheat. 
Forty  thousand  pounds  in  bills  the  value  of  from  one 
shilling  to  three  pounds,  were  issued  by  the  govern-

ment  to  borrowers,  on  the  pledge  of  plate  or  real 
estate,  at  live  per  cent  ])er  annum.  The  whole  sum 
was  apportioned  to  the  cotinties  in  which  loan  offices 
were  established ;  the  bills  were  made  current  for 
twelve  years,  and  were  made  a  legal  tender  for  debts. 
In  1780  another  act  added  £20,000  to  this  medium  and 
were  made  current  for  sixteen  years.  All  these  issues 
.  (although  at  one  period  they  were  at  a  discount  of 
sixteen  per  cent)  were  fully  and  duly  redeemed."* 

(Tovernor  Burnet  after  this  continued  to  preside 
over  Xew  Y'ork  and  New  Jersey,  till  1727  ;  when  he 
was  removed  to  Boston  and  succeeded  by  John  Mont- 
gomery. Esq.  Hh  continued  till  his  death,  which 
happened  in  the  summer  of  1781.  To  him  succeeded 
William  Crosby,  Esq.  He  continued  till  his  death  in 
1786. 

The  government  here  then  devolved  upon  the 
president  of  the  council.  John  Anderson,  Esq.  He 
died  about  tAvo  weeks  afterward  and  was  succeeded 
by  John  Hamilton.  Esq.  (son  of  Andrew,  governor  in 
the  proprietors"  time.)  He  governed  nearly  two 
vears.  In  the  summer  of  1738  a  commission  arrived 
to  Lewis  Morris,  Esq.,  as  governor  of  New  Jersey, 
separate  from  New  Y'ork.  He  continued  till  his  death 
in  the  sfjring  of  1746.  He  was  succeeded  by  President 
Hamilton.  He  dying,  it  devolved  upon  John  Reading, 
Esq..  as  the  next  eldest  councilor.  He  exercised  the 
office  till  the  summer  of  1747,  when  Jonathan  Belcher, 
Esq..  arrived.  He  died  in  the  summer  of  1757,  and 
was  succeeded  by  John  Reading,  Esq.,  president. 
Francis  Bernard,  Esq.,  arrived  as  governor  in  1758  ; 
he  was  removed  to  Boston  and  succeeded  by  Thomas 
Boone.  Esq.,  in  1760.  He  was  removed  to  South 
Carolina  and  succeeded  here  by  Josiali  Hardy,  Esq.,

AA'illiani  Fi-anklin,  Esq.,  son  of  Dr.  Benjamin  Franklin. 
During  the  year  176:3  a  treaty  of  peace  was  signed  by 
Great  Britain  and  France.  By  its  terms  Canada  was 
ceded  to  the  British  king,  ''and  the  colonies  secured 
from  the  ravages  of  French  and  Indian  wars,  whicij 
had  continued  for  more  than  half  a  century." 

AVhen  the  English  government  through  their 
prime  minister,  the  celebrated  Mr.  Pitt,  called  upon 
the  colonies  to  do  something  to  subdue  the  French  in 
America,  ''the  Assembly  of  New  Jersey,  instead  of 
raising,  reluctantly,  five  hundred  men,  doubled  that 
number,  and,  to  fill  the  ranks  in  season,  offered  a 
bounty  of  twelve  pounds  p^r  man,  increas*  d  the  pay 
of  the  officers,  and  voted  $'2o0,00()  for  their  main- 
tenance. They  at  the  same  session  directed  barracks 
to  be  built  at  Burlington.  Trenton,  New  Brunswick. 
Amlioy  and  Elizabethtown,  competent  reach  for  the 
accommodation  of  three  hundred  men.  This  comple- 
ment of  one  thousand  men  New  Jersey  kept  up  during 
the  years  1758,  1759  and  1760  ;  and  in  the  years  1761 
and  1762  fui-nished  six  bundled  men,  besides  in  the 
latter  year  a  company  of  sixty- four  men  and  officers, 
especially  for  garrison  duty  ;  for  which  she  incurred 
an  average  expense  of  j?20(),()(H)  per  annum." 

New  Jersey  was  frijm  the  first  among  the  foremost 
in  resisting  the  ari-ogant  demands  of  British  tyranny. 

The  people,  early  in  July,  1774,  met  in  the  differ- 
ent counties  and  ]iassed  resolutions  stoutly  condemn- 
ing the  acts  of  parliament.  "They  nominated  deputies 
to  meet  in  convention  for  the  purpose  of  electing 
delegates  to  the  general  congress  about  to  meet  in 
PhiladelT)hia." 


HISTORY  OF  :^EW  JERSEY.  37 

The  delegates  that  were  sent  from  New  Jersey 
leported  the  proceedings  of  this  congress  to  the 
ai^senibly  January  11,  1775,  by  whom  they  were 
iimmimously  approved. 

"The  joint  action  of  the  colonies-  was  opposed 
by  their  royal  governors,  who  threw  every  obstacle 
in  their  power  to  prevent  its  accomplishment.  Gov. 
Franklin  refused  to  summon  the  assembly,  notwith- 
standing the  x^etitions  of  the  people ;  therefc)re  the 
first  delegates  to  congress  were  elected  by  a  conven- 
tion. The  second  provincial  convention  met  at  Tren- 
ton, May  28,  177.5,  and  directed  that  one  or  more 
companies  of  eighty  should  be  formed  in  each  town- 
ship or  corporation  ;  and  in  order  to  raise  necessary 
funds,  imposed  a  tax  of  ten  thousand  pounds.  The 
provincial  congress  of  New  Jersey  reassembled  Aug- 
ust 5th,  1775,  and  directed  that  fifty-four  companies, 
each  of  sixty-four  minute  men,  be  organized.  These 
troops  were  formed  into  ten  battalions  ;  in  Bergen,  Es- 
sex, Middlesex,  Monmouth,  Somerset,  Morris,  Sussex, 
Hunterdon  and  Burlington,  one  each ;  in  Grloucester 
and  Salem,  one  ;  while  in  the  counties  of  Cumberland 
and  Cape  May  were  independent  light  infantry  and 
rangers.  But  the  chief  measure  of  this  congress  was 
the  perpetuation  of  the  authority  which  they  had 
assumed ;  they  therefore  resolved  and  directed,  that, 
during  the  continuance  of  the  controversy  between 
Great  Britain  and  America,  the  inhabitants  qualified 
to  vote  should  yearly  choose  deputies  to  the  provin- 
cial congress,  who  now  took  upon  themselves  the 
management  of  the  affairs  of  the  colony,  relating  to 
their  rights  and  liberties." 

The  legislature  was  convened  by  Gov.  Franklin 
the  16th  of  November,  1775.  He  made  a  speech  to 
the  assembly  seemingly  for  the  purpose  of  getting  an

assurance  of  personal  safety  from  tlieni.  and  a  denial 
of  all  intentions  to  pr(jclaini  iiidependeiife.  He  i)ro- 
rogued  the  house  on  the  ()th  of  De(eni])e)'  till  January 
Bd,  1776,  but  it  nev^er  came  together  again  ;  and  thus 
terminated  the  provincial  legislature  of  New  Jersey" 
At  the  time  the  provincial  congress  of  New  Jersey, 
(June  10,  1776)  convened  at  Burlington  the  General 
Corif/ress  of  the  United  Colonies  was  in  session  in 
Philadelphia,  and  on  the  memorable  Fourth  of  July 
declared  themselves  free  and  independent  States.  On 
the  18th  of  July  the  provincial  congress  assumed  the 
tide  of  the  '"State  Convention  of  New  Jersey." 
Governor  Fraid^:lin  was  powerless  during  the  progress 
of  these  events  as  the  tide  of  public  opinion  was  too 
strong  for  him  to  attemj^t  to  interfere.  He  made  a 
proclamation,  however,  on  the  30tli  of  May  summon- 
ing the  house  in  the  name  of  the  King  to  meet  on  the 
20th  of  June.  The  provincial  congress  took  notice  of 
this  i)roclamation  and  by  a  vote  of  thirty-five  to  eleven 
decided  that  it  ought  not  tc>  be  obeyed  and  further 
that  Governor  Franklin  had  by  this  proclamation 
shown  himself  an  enemy  of  the  people  and  their  lil)er- 
ties  and  that  for  their  safetj^  his  j)erson  ought  to  be 
secured.  "This  was  done;  and  by  an  order  of  the 
Continental  Congress,  on  the  Sfirh  of  June,  the  de 
posed  Governor  was  sent,  under  guard,  to  Governor 
Trunibull  of  Connecticut,  who  was  desired  to  take  his 
parole,  and  in  case  he  refused,  to  ti'eat  him  agreeably 
to  the  resolution  of  Congress  respecting  prisoners. 
This  request  was  immediately  cc^n:;  lied  with.  On  his 
release  he  sailed  for  Engltnid  \^"l.•  m  lie  received  a 
pension  for  his  losses." 

"The  first  legislature  of  -independent  New  Jersey

31th  of  the  same  month    Williom.  T/iTriKjsioiu',,  Esq.,

was,  in  joint  ballcjt,  chosen  governor  of  the  State  ; 
and,  being  annually  re-electe'l,  continued  in  office  for 
fourteen  years.  Dur.ng  his  adniinistration,  the  State 
was  the  the:: tie  of  war  for  several  vears.  In  the  revo- 
lutionary  struggle,  her  losses,  both  of  men  and  prop- 
erty, in  proportion  to  the  x:)opu]ationandv7ealthof  the 
the  State,  Avas  greater  than  any  other  of  the  thirteen 
States.  As  General  Washington  was retieating throiigli 
the  Jerseys  almost  forsaken,  her  militia  were  at  all 
times  obedient  to  his  orders,  and  for  a  considerable 
time  coniposetl  the  strength  of  his  army.  There  is 
hardly  a  town  in  the  State  that  lay  in  the  progress  of 
the  British  army  that  was  not  signalized  by  some  en- 
terprise or  exploit.  At  Trenton  the  enemy  received  a 
check  which  turned  the  tide  of  war.  "In  the  summer 
of  1778  bir  Henry  Clinton  retreated  with  the  British 
army  from  Philadelphia  through  New  Jersey  to  New 
York.  The  battle  of  Monmouth  signalizes  this  retreat. 
The  military  services  peiformed  by  the  soldiers  of 
New  Jersey,  and  the  suffering  of  the  peojJe  dining 
the  Eevolutionary  War,  entitle  her  to  the  gratitude 
of  her  sister  States.  Because  of  her  patriotic  spirit, 
her  sacrifices  of  blood  and  treasure,  her  good  and  true 
men  who  marched  gallantly  to  battle  and  death  at 
their  country's  call,  she  is  entitled  to  stand  in  the 
foremost  rank  among  those  who  fought  and  struggled 
for  American  freedom.

lar  account  of  all  the  different  tribes  or  nations 
of  Indians  that  inhabited  these  provinces  be- 
fore the  Europeans  came  among  them,  there  being  a 
tribe,  probably,  in  some  parts,  for  every  ten  or  twentj' 
miles,  which  were  commonly  distinguished  by  the 
names  of  creeks  or  other  noted  places  where  they 
resided  ;  thus,  there  were  the  Assunpink,  the  Shack- 
amaxon,  the  Rankokas,  the  Mingo,  the  Andastaka 
and  the  Neshamine  Indians  ;  and  those  around  Bur- 
lington were  called  the  Mantas  ;  but  these  and  others 
were  all  of  them  distinguished  from  the  Indians  far- 
ther back,  who  were  a  morn  wai'like  ])eople,  by  the 
general  name  of  the  Delawares.  The  nations  most 
noted  from  home  that  sometimes  inhabited  New  Jer- 
sey, and  the  tirst  settled  parts  of  Pennsylvania,  were 
the  Naraticongs,  on  the  north  side  of  Haritan  River, 
the  Capitinasses,  C-facheos,  the  Manseys,  the  Pomp- 
tons,  the  Senecas,  and  the  Manguaas  ;  this  last  was 
the  most  numerous  and  powerful.  Different  nations 
were  frequently  at  war  with  each  other,  of  which 
husbandmefi  sometimes  lind  remaining  marks  in  their 
fields.  A  little  below  the  Falls  of  Delawai'e  on  the 
Jersey  side,  at  Point-no-point  in  Pennsylvania  and 
several  other  places,  were  banks  that  had  been  thrown 
up  for  intrenchments  against  incui'sions  of  the  neigh 
boring  Indians,  who,  in  their  canoes,  used  scmietimes 
to  go  in  warlike  bodies  from  one  province  to  anotlier. '

•'It  was  customary  with  the  Indians  of  West 
Jersey,  when  rhey  buried  their  dead,  to  put  family 
utensils,  bow^,  and  arrows,  and  sometimes  money 
(wampum)  into  the  grave  with  them  as  tokens  of  their 
affection.  When  a  person  of  note  died  far  from  the 
place  of  his  own  residence,  they  would  carry  his  bones 
to  be  buried  there ;  they  washed  and  perfumed  the 
dead,  painted  the  face  and  followed  singly.  They 
left  the  dead  in  a  sitting  posture  and  covered  the  grave 
like  a  pyramid.  They  were  very  careful  in  preserv- 
ing and  repairing  the  graves  of  their  dead  and  pen- 
sively visited  them.  They  disliked  to  be  asked  their 
j udgment  twice  about  the  same  thing.  They  generally 
delighted  in  mirth  ;  were  very  studious  in  observing 
the  virtues  of  roots  and  herbs,  by  which  they  usually 
cured  themselves  of  many  bodily  distempers,  both  by 
outward  and  inward  applications.  They  frequently 
used  sweating  and  the  cold  bath."  "The  manner  for 
a  bath  was  first  to  inclose  the  patient  in  a  narrow 
cabin,  in  the  midst  of  which  was  a  red-hot  stone;  this 
frequently  wet  with  water,  occasioned  a  warm  vapor  ; 
the  patient  sufficiently  wet  with  this  and  his  own 
sweat,  was  hurried  to  the  next  creek  or  river,  and 
plunged  into  it ;  this  was  repeated  as  often  as  neces- 
sary, and  sometimes  great  cures  performed.  But  this 
rude  method  at  other  times  killed  the  patient,  not- 
withstanding their  hardy  natures  ;  especially  in  the 
small-pox  and  other  European  disorders."  They  had 
an  aversion  to  beards  and  would  not  suffer  them  to, 
grow,  but  plucked  the  hairs  out  by  the  roots.  The 
hair  of  their  heads  was  black,  and  generally  shone 
with  bear's  fat,  particularly  that  of  the  women  who 
tied  it  behind  in  a  large  knot,  sometimes  in  a  bag. 
They  called  persons  and  things  by^the  name  of  things 
remarkable,  or  birds,  beasts  and  fish  ;  as,  pea-Jiala,  a

served it  as  a  rule,  wlieii  tlie  rattlesnake  gave  notice 
by  his  rattle  before  they  approached,  not  to  hurt 
him  ;  but  if  he  rattled  after  tliey  had  passed  they  im- 
mediately returned  and  killed  him.  They  were  very 
loving  to  one  another ;  if  several  of  them  camt-  to  a 
Christian's  house,  and  the  master  of  it  gave  one  of  them 
victuals  and  none  to  the  rest,  he  w^juld  divide  it  into 
equal  shares  among  his  companions  ;  if  the  Chiistians 
visited  them  they  would  give  them  the  iirst"cut('f 
their  victuals  ;  they  would  not  eat  the  hollow  nf  the 
thigh  of  anything  they  killed.  Their  chief  employ- 
ment was  hunting,  fishing,  fowling,  making  canoes, 
bowls  and  other  w^ooden  and  earthen  ware ;  in  all 
which  they  were,  considering  the  means,  ingenious. 
They  boiled  their  water  in  tlieir  earthen  bowl^.  Their 
women's  business  chieliy  consisted  in  planting  Indian 
corn,  J  arching  or  roasting  it,  jiounding  it  to  meal  in 
mortars,  or  breaking  it  between  stones,  making  biead 
and  dressing  victuals  ;  in  which  they  were  sometimes 
observed  to  be  very  neat  and  cleanly  and  sometimes 
otherwise.  They  also  made  mats,  rox^es,  hats  and 
baskets  (some-very  curious)  of  wdld  hemp  and  roots, 
or  splits  of  trees.  Tlieir  young  women  were  originally 
very  nujdest  and  shame-faced,  and  at  marriageable 
ages  distinguished  themselves  with  a  kind  of  woi-ked 
mats,  or  red  or  blue  baga,  interspersed  with  snuill 
rows  of  white  and  })lack  wampum,  or  half  rows  of 
each  in  (me,  fastened  to  it,  and  then  put  lound  the 
liead,  down  to  near  the  middle  of  the  forehead.  Both 
young  and  old  women  would  be  highly  offended  at 
indecent  expressions  unless  corrupted  with  drink. 
They  would  not  allow  the  name  cf  a  friend  after  his 
death,   to  V*^  mentioned.      They   sometimes  streaked

their  faces  with  bhick.   when  in  mouruina: ;  but  when 
I  heir  affairs  went  Avell  they  painted  red.      They  were 
great  obser\ier.s  of  the  weather  by  the  moon  ;  delighted 
,  in  tine  clotlies  ;    were  punctual  in  their  bargains,  and 
observed  this  so  much  in  others  that  it  was  very  diffi- 
cult for  a  person  who  had  once  failed  therein  to  get 
any  dealings  with  them  afterwai'd.     In  their  councils 
they  Seldom  or  never  interrupted  or  contradicted  one 
another  till  two  of  them  had  made  an  end  of  their 
discourse  ;  for  if  ever  so  many  were  in  company  only 
two  must  speak  to  each  other ;   and  the  rest  be  silent 
till  their  turn  came.     Their  language  was  high,  lofty 
and  sententious.     Their  way  of  counting  was  by  tens, 
that  is  to  say,   two  tens,   three  tens,   four  tens,  etc.; 
when  the  number  got  out  of  their  reach  they  pointed 
to  the  stars  or  the  hair  of  their  heads.      They  lived 
chieliy  on  maize,  or  Indian  corn,  roasted  in  the  ashes, 
sometimes  beaten  and  boiled  with  Avater  ;  they  also 
made  an  agreeable  cake  of  their  pounded  corn,  and 
raised  beans  and  peas.      But   the  woods  and  rivers 
chiefly  supplied  them  with  food.     They  pointed  their 
arrows  with  a  sharpened,  flinty  stone.      They  had  a 
larger  sort  with  withes  for  handles  with  which  they 
cut  their  wood.      Both  of  these  sharpened  stones  are 
frequently  found  in  the  fields.    They  ate  on  the  ground 
morning  and  evening.     They  were  naturallj^  reserved, 
apt  to  resent  and  conceal  their  resentments  and  retain 
them  long,  but  w^ere  liberal  and  generous  to  the  Eng- 
lish.    They  were  observed  to  be  uneasy  and  impatient 
in  sickness  for  a  present  remedy,  to  which  they  com- 
monly drank  a  decoction   of  roots  in  spring  water, 
forbearing  tiesh,  which  if  they  ate  at  all,  must  be  of 
the  feminine  gender.      They  took  remarkable  care  of 
their  sick  while  hoj^e  of  life  remained ;  but  when  that 
Avas  gone  some  of  them  were  apt  to  neglect  the  patient.

Their  goverument  was  monarchial  and  successive  and 
mostly  of  the  mothers  side  to  prevent  a  spurious 
issue.  They  commonly  washed  their  children  in  cold 
water  as  soon  as  born  ;  and  to  make  their  limbs 
straight  tied  the  child  to  a  board  and  hung  it  to  their 
backs  when  they  travelled.  The  children  usually 
walked  at  nine  months  old.  Their  young  men  mar- 
ried at  sixteen  or  seventeen  years  of  age.  if  l)y  that 
time  they  had  given  sufficient  proof  of  their  manlK'od 
by  a  large  return  of  skins.  The  girls  married  at  thir- 
teen or  fourteen,  but  stayed  with  their  mothers  to 
hoe  the  ground,  bear  burdens,  etc..  for  some  years 
after  marriage.  The  women  in  travelling  usually  car- 
ried the  luggage.  Tlie  marriage  ceremony  was  some- 
times thus :  the  relations  and  friends  being  present, 
the  bridegroom  delivered  a  bone  to  the  bride.  ?he  an 
ear  of  Indian  corn  to  him  ;  meaning  that  he  was  to 
provide  meat,  she  bread.  It  was  not  unusual  to 
change  their  mates  upon  disagreement  ;  the  children 
going  to  the  one  that  loved  them  best.  The  expense 
was  of  no  moment  to  either.  In  case  of  disagreement 
about  the  children  the  man  was  allowed  the  lirst  choice 
if  the  children  were  divided,  or  if  there  was  but  one. 
Very  little  can  be  said  as  to  their  religion.  Much, 
pains  were  taken  by  the  early  Christian  settlers  to 
inform  them  respecting  the  use  and  benefits  of  the 
Christian  revelation  and  to  fix  restraints,  but  general- 
ly with  unpromising  success,  though  instances  have 
now  and  then  happened  to  the  contrary.  They  are- 
thought  to  have  believed  in  a  God  and  immortality 
and  seemed  to  aim  at  public  worship.  When  they 
did  this,  they  sometimes  sat  in  several  circles,  one 
within  another.  Their  worship  consisted  of  singing, 
dancing,  jumping  and  shouting,  but  performed  as 
somethincr  h winded  down  from  their  ancestors,  v^ithout

any  knowlf^dge  ^r   inquiry   as   to  its  seriousness  or 
oricrin.      Thev   said   that   the  sreat   kincr  who  made 
them  dwelt  in  a  glorious  country  to  the  southward, 
and  that  the  spirits  of  the    best  should  go  there  and 
livp  again.     Their  most  solemn  worship  was  the  sacri- 
fice of  the  first-fruits,  in    which  th^y  burnt  the  fiist 
and  fatrest  buck,  and  feasted  together  upon  what  else 
they  had  collected  :    but   in    this   sacrifice  broke  no 
bones  of  any  <Teature  they   ate.      ^^^len   done  they 
gathered  them  up  and   buried   them  very  carefully. 
These  have  since  been  frequently  plowed  up.      They 
distino-uished  between    a   good   and  evil  manetta.   or 
s|^rit  :  worshipped  the  first  for  the  good  they  hoped  : 
and  some  of  them  are  said  to  have  been  slavishly  dark 
in  praying  to  the  last   for  deprecation  of  evils  they 
feared  :  but  if  this  be  true  in  a  general  sense  some  of 
the  tribes  much  concealed  it  from  our  settlers.     They 
did  justice  upon  one  another  for  crimes  among  them- 
selves, in  a  way  of  their  owti.     Even  murder  might  be 
atoned  for  by  feasts  or  presents   (d  wampum.      The 
price  of  a  woman  killed   was   double  that  of  a  man. 
because  s7ie  bred  children,  icTifch  man  covM  not  do. 
If   sober  they   rarely   quaiTeled    among  themselves. 
They  lived  to  sixty,  seventy,  eighty  or  even  ninety  be- 
fore rum  w:ks  introduced,  but  rarely  have  they  attained 
to  that  age  since.  Sometribes  were  commendably  care- 
ful of  their  aged  and  decrepit,  endeavoring  to  make  - 
the  last  of  life  as  comfortable  as  they  could.     It  was 
pretty  generally  so  except  in  cases  of  desperate  decays; 
then  indeed  they  were  apt  as  in  other  cases  of  the  like 
kind  to  neglect   them.      They   were  keen  and  strict 
observers  of  property,  yet  to  the  last  degi'ee  thought- 
less and  inactive  in  acquiring  and  keeping  it.      ]S'one

knife,  gun  or  any  such  thing  given  to  one,  frequently 
passed  through  many  hands.  Thei;-  iLouses  or  wig- 
wams were  sometimes  together  in  towns,  but  mostly 
movable,  and  occasionally  tixed  near  a  spring  or  other 
water,  according  to  the  conveniences  for  hunting, 
fishing,  basket-making  or  other  business  of  that  sort, 
and  built  with  x>ol^s  laid  on  forked  sticks  in  the 
ground,  with  bark,  Hags  or  bushes  on  the  top  and 
sides  with  an  opening  to  the  south,  their  fire  in  the 
middle ;  at  night  they  slei)t  on  the  ground  with  their 
feet  towards  it ;  their  clothing  was  a  coarse  blanket 
or  skin  thrown  over  the  shoulder,  which  covered  to 
the  knee,  and  a  piece  of  the  same  tied  round  the  legs, 
with  part  of  a  deerskin  sewed  round  their  feet  for 
shoes.  As  they  had  leai-ned  to  live  upon  little,  they 
seldom  exi)ected  or  wanted  to  lay  up  much.  They 
were  also  moderate  in  asking  a  price  for  anything 
they  had  for  sale.  When  a  com2)any  travelled  together 
they  geneially  followed  each  other  in  silence.  Scarce- 
ly ever  were  two  seen  by  the  side  of  one  another.  In 
the  road  the  man  went  iirst  with  his  bow  and  arrow, 
the  woman  after,  not  unfrequently  with  a  child  on 
her  back  and  other  burdens  besides  ;  but  when  these 
were  too  heavy  the  man  assisted.  To  know  their 
walks  again,  in  unfrequented  woods  they  heaped 
stones  or  marked  trees. 

In  person  they  were  upright,  and  straight  in  their 
limbs,  beyond  the  usual  proportion  in  nu)st  nations. 
Their  bodies  were  strong,  but  of  a  strength  rather 
fitted  to  endure  hardships  than  to  sustain  much  bodily 
labor  ;  very  seldom  crooked  or  defoiiued.  Their  fea- 
tures were  regular ;  their  (.'ountenanc;es  sometimes 
fierce  and  more  resembling  a  Jew  than  Christian ; 
the  color  of  their  skin  a  tawny  reddish -brown  and  the 
whole  fashion  of  their  lives  of  a  piece,  hardy,  poor

and  squalid.     When  they  began  to  drink  they  gener- 
ally continued  it  as  long  as  they  could  tind  anything 
with  which  to  purchase  more.      When   drunk   they 
often  lay  exposed  to  th^^  inclemencies  of  the  weather, 
which  introduced   a   train   of   new   disorders   among 
them.     They  were  grave,  even   to  sadness  upon  any 
common,  and  more  so   upon   any  serious  occasions  ; 
observant  of  those  in  company  and  respectful  to  the 
old  ;  of  a  temper  cool  and  deliberate  ;  never  in  haste 
to  speak  but  waited  for  a  certainty  that  those  who 
spoke  before  them   had  linished  all  he  had  to  say. 
They  seemed  to  hold  European  vivacity  in  contempt, 
because  they  found  such  as  came  among  them  apt  to 
interrupt  each  other  and  frequently   speak  all   to- 
gether.    Their  behavior  in  public  councils  was  strictly 
decent  and  instructive  ;    every   one   in  his  turn  was 
heard,  according  to  rank  of  years  or  wisdom,  or  ser- 
vices to  his  country.     Not  a  word  or  vv^hisper  or  mur- 
mur while  any  one  was  sj^eaking  ;  no  interruption  to 
commend  or  condemn  ;  the  younger  sort  were  totally 
silent.     They  obtained  tire  by  rubbing  wood  of  par- 
ticular sorts  (as  the  ancients  did  out  of  the  ivy  and 
bays),  by  turning  the  end  of  a  hard  piece  upon  the 
side  of  one  that  was  soft  and  dry  ;  to  forward  the  heat 
they  put  dry,  rotten  wood  and  leaves  ;  and  with  the 
helj)  of  tire  and  their  stone  axes,  they  would  fell  large 
trees  and  afterward  scoop   them  into  bowls,  canoes, 
etc.      From  their  infancy  they  w^ere  educated  to  en- 
dure  hardshii:)S,    to    bear    derision    and   even   blows 
patiently  ;    at  least  with   a   composed  countenance. 
Though  they  were  not  easily  provoked,  it  was  hard  to 
appease  them  when  it  did  happen.      Liberty  in  its 
fullest  extent  w^as  their  ruling  passion ;  to  this  every 
other  consideration  was  subservient.     Their  children 
were  trained  up  to  cherish  this  disposition  to  the  ut-

most ;  tliey  were  indulged  to  a  great  degree,  seldom 
chastised  with  blows,  and  rarely  chided  ;  their  faults 
were  left  for  their  reason  and  the  habits  of  the  family 
to  correct.  They  said  these  could  not  be  great  before 
their  reason  commenced.  They  seemed  to  abhor  a 
shivish  motive  to  action  as  inconsistent  with  their  no- 
tions of  freedom  and  independency.  Even  strong 
persuasion  was  industriously  avoided  as  bordering  too 
much  on  dependence,  and  a  kind  of  violence  offered 
to  the  will.  They  dreaded  slavery  more  than  death. 
They  laid  no  hues  for  crime,  for  they  had  no  way  of 
exacting  them  :  the  atonement  was  voluntary.  Every 
tribe  had  j)articulars  in  whom  they  reposed  confidence, 
and  unless  they  did  something  unworthy  of  it,  they 
were  held  in  respect.  What  were  denominated  kings, 
were  sachems  distinguished  among  the  above.  The 
resi)ect  paid  them  was  voluntary  and  not  exacted  or 
looked  for,  or  the  omission  regarded.  The  sachems 
directed  in  their  councils  and  had  the  chief  disposition 
of  lands.  To  help  their  memories  in  treaties  they  had 
belts  of  white  and  black  wampum  ;  with  these  closed 
their  periods  in  speeches,  delivering  more  or  less  ac- 
cording to  the  importance  of  the  matter  treated  of. 
This  ceremony  omitted  all  that  they  said  passed  for 
nothing.  They  treasured  these  belts  when  delivered 
to  them  in  treaties,  kept  them  as  the  records  of  the 
nation,  to  have  recourse  to  ui)on  future  contests. 
Governed  by  customs  and  not  by  laws  they  greatly 
revered  their  ancestors,  and  followed  them  so  implic- 
itly that  a  new  thought  or  action  seldom  intruded. 
They  long  remembered  kindnesses  ;  families  that  en- 
deav(jred  to  deal  with  them  fairly  and  treat  them  hos- 
pitably even  if  no  great  kindness  were  received  were 
sure  of  their  trade.  It  must  be  allowed  that  the  un- 
corruj^ted  heart  seldom   fails   to  be  grateful  foi-  real

favors  received.  And  notwithstanding  the  strains  of 
l)ertidy  and  cruelty  wliich  in  1754  and  since  have  dis- 
graced tlie  Indians  on  the  frontier  of  these  provinces, 
even  these,  by  an  uninterrupted  intercourse  of  seventy 
years,  had,  on  many  occasions,  given  unimpeachable 
proofs  of  liberality  of  sentiment,  hospitality  of  action, 
and  impressions  that  seemed  to  promise  a  continuance 
of  better  things.     But  of  them  enough  at  present." 

"Among  a  people  so  immediately  necessary  to 
eaeh  other,  where  property  was  little  thought  of,  and 
the  anxiety  of  increasing  it  less,  the  intercourse  natur- 
ally became  free  and  unfettered  with  ceremony. 
Hence  every  one  had  his  eye  on  his  neighbor  Mud  mis- 
understandings and  mistakes  were  easily  rectified. 
No  ideas  of  state  or  grandeur  ;  no  homage  of  birth, 
rank  or  learning;  no  pride  of  house,  habit  or  furniture  ; 
very  little  emulations  of  any  kind  to  interrupt ;  and 
so  mudi  together  they  must  be  friends,  as  far  at  least 
as  that  term  could  be  properly  applied  to  them  :  this 
was  general  in  some  of  the  tribes.  Attachments  of 
particular  ones  to  each  other  were  constant  and 
steady  in  some  instances  far  exceeding  what  might  be 
expected.  Companies  of  them  frequently  got  togeth- 
er to  feast,  dance  and  make  merry.  This  sweetened 
the  toil  of  hunting.  They  scarcely  knew,  however, 
what  it  was  to  toil,  for  hunting  and  dancing  com- 
prised it  all.  A  life  of  dissipation  and  ease,  of  uncer- 
tainty and  want,  of  appetite,  satiety  indolence  and 
sleep,  seemed  to  be  the  sum  of  their  character  and  the 
chief  thing  that  they  aimed  at. 

"  Notwithstanding  the  government  was  successive, 
it  was,  for  extraordinary  reasons,  sometimes  ordered 
otherwise.  Of  this  there  is  an  instance  in  the  old 
king  Ockanickon,  who  dying  about  this  time  at  Bur- 
lington, declarer!  himself  to  this  effect : 


50  HISTORY  OF  ^'EW  .lERSEY. 

"*  It  was  my  desire  that  my  brother's  son,  lahkursoe,. 
should  come  to  me,  and  hear  my  last  words  ;  for  Inm  have  I 
appointed  king  after  me. 

'"My  brother's  son,  this  day  I  deliver  my  heart ^nto  your 
bosom  ;   and  mind  me,  I  would  have  you  love  what  is  good, 
and  keep  good  company;  refiise  what  is  evil,  and  by  all  means" 
avoid  bad  company. 

"  '  Now,  having  delivered  my  heart  iuto  your  bosom,  I  also 
deliver  my  bosom  to  keep  my  heart  in  ;  be  sure  always  to 
walk  in  a  good  path,  and  if  any  Indians  should  speak  evil  of 
Indians  or  Christians,  do  not  join  in  it,  but  look  at  the  sun 
from  the  rising  of  it  to  the  setting  of  the  same.  In  speeches 
that  shall  be  made  between  the  Indians  and  Christians,  if  any 
wrong  or  evil  thing  be  spoken,  do  not  join  with  that ;  but  join 
with  the  good.  When  speeches  are  made,  do  not  you  speak 
first ;  be  silent  and  let  all  speak  before  you,  and  take  good 
notice  what  each  man  speaks,  and  when  you  have  heard  all, 
join  to  that  which  is  good. 

" '  Brother's  son,  I  would  have  you  cleanse/your  ears,  and 
take  all  foulness  out  that  you  may  hear  both  good  and  evil, 
and  then  ^oiu  with  the  good  and  refuse  the  evil  ;  and  also 
cleanse  your  eyes  that"  you  may  see  good  and  evil,  and  where 
you  see  evil,  do  not  join  ■with  it,  but  join  to  that  which  is  good. 
"  '  Brother's  son,  you  have  heard  what  has  passed  ;  stand 
up  in  time  of  speeches  ;  this  do,  and  what  you  desire  in  reason

I  have  had  a  mind  to  be  good,  and  do  good,  and  therefore  do

all,  both  ludiaus  and  Christians,  as  I  have  been  ;  I  am  very 
weak,  otherwise  I  would  have  spoken  more." 

"After  the  Indian  had  delivered  this  council  to 
his  nephew,  T.  Budd,  one  of  tlie  i^roprietors,  being 
I)resent,  took  the  opportunity  to  remark  that  '  there 
was  a  great  God  who  created  all  things  ;  and  that  he 
gave  man»  an  understanding  of  what  was  good  and 
bad  ;  and  after  this  like  rewarded  the  good  with 
blessings,  and  the  bad  according  to  their  doings.' 

"He  answered: 

"  '  It  is  very  true,  it  is  so  ;  there  are  two  ways,  a  broad 
and  a  straight  way;  there  are  two  paths,  a  broad  and  a  straight 
path  ;  the  worst  and  the  greatest  number  go  in' the  broad,  the 
best  aud  fewest  in  the  straight  path.'  " 

This  king  dying  soon  afterward,  was  attended  to 
his  grave  in  the  Quaker's  burial-jDlace  in  Burlington, 
with  solemnity,  by  the  Indians  in  their  manner,  and 
with  great  resi)ect  by  many  of  the  English  settlers,  to 
w^hom  he  had  been  a  sure  friend.  The  foregoing  his- 
tory of  the  Indians  is  as  given  in  ^'^diHJi^s  History  of 
New  Jersey. 

The  following  interesting  matter  in  regard  to  the 
Indians  is  taken  from  New  Jersey  Historical  Collections 
and  was  published  in  the  Neioark  JSentinel,  entitled 
"Glimpses  of  the  Fast  in  NewMersey'': 

"During  the  dominion  of  the  Dutch,  hostile  rela- 
tions existed  on  two  or  three  occasions.  De  Vries 
tells  us  (New  York  Historical  Collections)  that,  in 
1680,  thirty- two  men  were  killed  by  the  Indians  on 
the  Delaware ;  and  he  gives  a  detailed  account  of 
difficulties  with  those  of  East  Jersey  in  1640  and  1643. 
In  the  former  year  an  expedition  fitted  out  against 
those  on  the  Raritan,  accused,  although  wrongfully, 
of  having  committed  thefts  and  other  trespasses, 
caused  some  of  the  leading  chiefs  to  be  maltreated, 


52  HISTORY    OF  ^^EAV  JERSEY. 

and  led  to  retaliatory  measures  iij)on  the  settlers  of 
Staten  Island,  who  were  killed  and  their  plantations 
broken  up, 

"This  matter,  in  connection  with  the  refusal  of 
the  Indians  to  give  up  the  author  of  a  murder  subse- 
quently committed,  brought  on  hostilities.  The 
Dutch  authorities  were  guilty  of  great  duplicit}',  in 
beguiling  the  natives  into  the  belief  that  no  evil  was 
brewing  against  them  ;  for  they  directed  that  '  the 
kind  intercourse  and  the  trade  in  corn  should  be  con- 
tinued with  them  as  before,  till  God's  will  and  prop 
er  opportunity  is  offered.'  This  opportunity  came 
early  in  1648.  The  Indians  in  the  vicinity  of  Fort 
Orange  (Albany)  having  commenced  a  war  with  their 
more  southern  brethren.  Gov.  Kieft  joined  with  them 
and,  on  tlie  night  of  the  2r)-20tli  of  January  a  detach- 
ment of  troops  was  sent  over  to  Pavonia,  and  eighty 
Indians  were  murdered  in  their  sleep,  or  in  attempt- 
ing to  escajie.  'This  was  the  feat,'  says  De  Yries,  al- 
luding to  a  remaik  of  the  Governor  in  relation  to  it, 
'worthy  of  the  heroes  of  old  Rome,  to  massacre  a  par 
eel  of  Indians,  and  to  butcher  them  in  the  i^resence  of 
their  parents,  and  throw  their  mangled  limbs  into  the 
tire  or  water.  Other  sucklings  had  been  fastened  to 
little  boards,  and  in  this  position  they  were  cut  to 
j)ieces.  Some  were  thrown  into  the  river,  and  when 
the  parents  rushed  in  to  save  them,  the  soldiers  pre- 
vented theii-  landing,  and  let  the  parents  and  chil- 
dren drown.'  As  the  orders  given  to  the  officer  com- 
manding the  expedition,  as  they  appear  on  the 
record,  wei-e  'to  spare  as  much  as  it  is  possible  their 
wives  and  children,  and  to  take  the  savages  prisoners,' 
we  might  attribute  this  cruelty  entirely  to  the  excited 
passions  of  the  men;  but  the  same  author  tells  us 
they  were  rewarded,   and   that  'the  same  niglit  forty

In'lians  ni(»re  were  murdeied  at  Corlaer's  plantation." 
Such  a  warfare  conld  not  fail  to  exasperate  the 
natives ;  and  we  are  told  that,  as  soon  as  they  became 
aware  that  these  massacres  were  by  the  whites  (for 
from  the  secrecy  observed  and  the  darkness  of  the 
night,  they  thought  they  had  been  attacked  by  their 
enemies,  the  Maqnas),  they  murdered  in  the  country 
a^l  the  men  they  could  hnd  ;  but  more  human  than 
the  whites,  spared  the  females  and  children.  Houses 
and  barns,  grain  and  hay,  were  destroyed,  and  war 
waged  for  a  month  or  more.  In  March,  a  peace  was 
concluded  which  lasted  only  till  Octol)er ;  when  three 
or  four  soldiers,  stationed  at  Pavonia  foj'  the  protec- 
tion of  a  family,  having  been  attacked,  war  was  re- 
newed ;  and  so  serious  was  its  characiter,  that  in  March, 
1644,  the  authorities  of  New  Amsterdam,  proclaimed 
a  solemn  fast,  to  deprecate  the  anger  of  Jeliovah. 

Peace  was  permanently  restored  the  following- 
year  ;  and  as,  in  their  distress,  they  had  fasted,  so 
now  the  good  burghers  rejoiced,  and  kept  a  day  of 
public  thanksgiving  and  praise.  We  hear  of  no  fur- 
ther disturbances  from  this  time;  and  in  1664  the 
English  came  into  possession  of  the  country.  Of 
course,  the  unsettled  state  of  the  intercourse  with  the 
Indians  had  interfered  most  materially  with  the  settle- 
ment of  this  portion  of  New  Netherlands. 

.There  are  no  data  by  which  a  true  estimate  can 
be  formed  of  the  number  of  Indians  within  what  are 
now  the  limits  of  New  Jersey,  when  iirst  population 
began  to  change  the  character  and  aspect  of  the  coun- 
try ;  but  probably  there  were  more  than  two  thousand 
when  the  x^rovince  was  taken  under  the  dominion  of 
the  English.  An  old  pamphlet  in  the  Philadelphia 
Library,  printed  in  1648,  to  induce  emigration  under 
the  grant  to  Sir  Edward  Ployden,   states  that  the  na-

On  early  maps  of  New  Jersey,  an  Indian  path  is  des-

Ijirds  Berkely  and  Carteret,  they  consulted  the  peace 
and  happiness  of  the  settlers,  by  the  establishment  of 
the  best  regulations  foi-  intercourse  with  the  natives. 
They  say  to  their  governor  and  councilors  should  they 
*  happen  to  find  any  nativt^s  in  our  said  province,  and 
tract  of  land  aforesaid,  that  then  you  treat  them  vv'ith 
all  humanity  and  kindness,  and  not  in  any  way  grieve 
or  oppress  them,  but  endeavor  by  a  Christian  caiTiage 
to  manifest  piety,  justice  and  charity  ;  and  in  your 
conversation  with  them  ;  the  manifestation  whereof 
will  prove  beneficial  to  the  planters,  and  likewise 
advantageous  to  the  propagation  of  the  gospel  (East 
Jersey  Records).'  And  in  order  that  they  might  be 
protected  from  the  arts  of  designing  men,  their  lands 
were  not  allowed  to  be  i^urchased  excepting  through 
the  Governor  and  council,  in  the  name  of  the  lords 
proprietors 

'Tt  was  to  bex^'esumed,  however,  that  intercourse 
-with  such  varied  characters  as  ever  constitute  the  iirst 
population  of  a  new  country,  would  present  many 
causes  for  outbreaks  and  disputes.^  The  assembly, 
therefore,  early  took  measures  to  guard  against  such 
difhciilriesby  prohibiting  all  trade  with  them  ;  nnd  in 
1675,  whfU  some  apprehensions  were  f-ntertained  the 
sale  t<j  ihem  of  aniniunition  was  prevented,  as  well  as 
the  repairing  of  their  firearms  ;  and  the  continuance 
of  peace  was,  in  subsequent  years,  still  further  secured, 
by  prohibiting  the  sale,  gift,  or  loan  to  them  of  any 
intoxicating  drink.  These  wholesome  restrictions, 
modified  as.  occasion  required,  continued  in  force 
under  the  government  of  the  twenty-four  proprietors, 
and  that  of  the  crown  which  succeeded.  Mrs.  Mary 
Smith  in  a  manuscript  account  of  the  first  settlement 
of  Burlington,  quoted  in  Watson's  Annals,  says,  'the 
Indians  were  very  civil,   bronght  them  corn,  venison,.

and  bar<>aiiied  also  for  Tlieir  land.'  It  was  said  tliat 
an  old  Indian  king  si^oke  prophetically,  before  his 
death,  of  the  increase  of  rlie  whites,  and  the  diminu- 
tion of  his  race.  Such  predictions  were  current  among 
them  as  earlv  as  1680.  At  the  time  Perth  Ambov  was 
settled  (1(»84).  there  appears  to  have  been  only  a  few 
natives  in  that  vicinity  •.  and  those  wdio  visited  the 
place  are  represented  as  very  serviceable  to  the  settlers, 
from  the  game  they  caught,  and  the  skins  and  furs 
they  procured  and  sold  to  them.'" 

The  lirst  serious  outbreak  occuired  in  ll^C),  but, 
so  soon  a.'^  a  hostile  feeling  became  ap|)arent,  the  leg- 
islature apjiointed  commissioners  to  examine  into  the 
causes  of  dissatisfaction.  A  conventiiiii  was  held  at 
Crosswicks,  for  the  ]»ur[)Ose,  i]i  January.  ITofJ ;  and 
in  March,  1757,  a  bill  was  passed  calculated  to  I'einove 
the  difficulties  which  had  grown  out  of  inqiositions 
upon  the  Indians  when  intoxicated,  the  destruction  of 
deer  by  traps,  and  the  occupation  of  lands  by  the 
whites  which  they  had  not  sold.— (Neville's  Laws,  Vol, 
II,  p.  12r».)  I)u)-ing  this  year,  however,  and  the  first 
part  of  1758,  the  w^estern  bordei-s  of  the  province  were 
in  much  alarm  fnmi  the  hostile  feeling  prevalent 
among  the  Minisink  and  neighboring  tribes  —  from 
May,  1757,  to  ,lune.  175^.  twenty-seven  murders  hav- 
ing been  committed  by  them  on  the  West  Jersey  side 
of  the  Delaware.  A  fonstant  guard  was  kept  under 
arms,  to  protect  the  inhaV)itants  :  burit^vns  not  always 
abb'  to  clicck  the  prcdatoi'v  excursions  of  the  savau'es. 

In  -June,  1758,  Gov.  liernai'd  of  New  Jersey  con- 
sulted General  Forbes  and  Gov.  I)(^nnv  of  Pennsvl- 
vania,  as  to  the  measures  l)est  cahnhited  to  put  a  stop 
to  this  unpleasant  warfare;  and  thiough  TccrliUH- 
vliuiKj,  king  of  the  Delawares,  lie  obtained  a  confer-

protection  being  tissnred  tliem.  It  shows  no  little 
regard  for  truth,  and  the  prevalence  of  a  humane  and 
forgiving  spirit,  on  the  part  of  the  whites,  as  well 
as  conti(ience  on  the  part  of  the  Indians,  that  tlie  one 
party  should  venture,  after  what  had  passed,  tu  place 
themselves  so  cumpletely  in  the  hands  of  their  ene- 
mies, and  the  other  to  profit  not  thereby. 

••The  conference  took  place  at  Burlington,  Aug- 
ust 7th,  17t")8:  On  the  part  of  the  province,  there 
were  present  the  Gfovernor,  three  commissioners  of 
Indian  affairs  of  the  house  of  assembly,  and  six  mem 
bers  of  the  council.  Two  Minisink  or  Manse v  Indians, 
one  Cayugan,  one  Delaware  messenger  from  the  Min- 
goians,  and  one  Delaware  who  came  with  the  Mini- 
sinks,  were  the  delegates  from  the  natives.  The  con- 
ference opened  with.,a  si)eech  from  the  governor.  He 
sat  holding  four  strings  of  wampum  and  thus  ad- 
dressed them :  "Brethren,  as  vou  are  come  from  a  ions: 
journey,  through  a  wood  full  of  briars,  with  this 
stiing  I  annoint  your  feet,  and  take  away  their  sore- 
ness ;  with  this  string  I  wipe  the  sweat  from  your 
bodies  ;  with  this  strinu'  I  cleanse  your  eves,  ears  and 
mouth  that  you  may  see,  hear  and  speak  clearly-  ;  and 
I  particularly  annoint  your  throat,  that  every  word 
you  say  may  have  a  free  i)assage  from  the  heart. 
And  with  rliis  string  I  bid  \  on  heartih-  welcome.' 
The  four  strings  were  then  delivered  to  them.  The 
]-esult  of  the  conference  was,  that  a  time  was  fixed  f.^r 
-holding  another  at  Easton,  at  the  request  of  the  In- 
dians ;  that  being,  as  they  termed  it,  the  palace  of  the 
'old  council  fire.'

pancy,  3044  acres,  in  the  townsliip  of  Eveshani,  Bur- 
lington county,  were  x>urciiased  for  them.  A  hoiiye 
ot  worship  and  several  dwellings  were  subsequently 
erected,  forming  the  town  ot  Brothei-ton  ;  and  as  the 
Selling  and  lt:-asing  of  any  portion  of  the  tract  was 
prohi))ited,  as  was  also  rlie  settlement  upon  it  uf  any 
persons  other  than  Indians,  the  grt-ate.st  hainiony 
appears  ro  haw  prevailed  between  irs  inhabitants  and 
their  white  neighbors  (Allison's  Laws,  p  221). 

"On  the  8th  "of  October,  17r)8.  the  conference 
commenced  at  Easton.  It  was  attended  by  the  Lieu- 
tenant-governor of  Pennsylvania,  six  of  his  council, 
and  an  equal  number  of  the  house  of  lepresentatives  : 
Gov,  Bernard  of  New  Jersey,  five  Indian  commission- 
ers, George  Croghan,  Esq.  (deputy  Indian  agent 
under  Sir  William  Johnson),  a  number  of  magistrates 
and  freeholders  of  the  two  provinces,  and  live  hun- 
dred and  seven  Indians-,  comprising  delegations  from 
fourteen  different  tribes.  (xovernor  Dennv,  being 
obliged  to  return  to  Philadelphia,  the  business  of  the 
conference  was  mainly  conducted  by  Gov.  Bernard, 
who  in  its  numagement  evinced  no  small  degjee  of 
talent  and  tact.  It  was  closed  on  the  2r)tli  of  0(  tober; 
and  the  result-  was  the  lelease.  by  rhe  Minisink  and 
Woj^ping  Indians,  of  all  lands  claimed  l)y  rheni  with- 
in the  limits  of  New  Jersey  for  ihe  sum  ofi:10()0. 
Deeds  were  also  obtained  from  the  Delawares  and 
other  Indians,  and  they  were  all  desired  to  remember 
.'that  by  these  two  agreements  the  province  of  New 
Jersey  is  entirely  freed  and  discharged  from  all  In- 
dian <-]aims.'  At  least  such  was  the  opihion  of  Gov. 
Bernard  and  the  Indians  ;  but  the  assembly,  the  en 
suing  March,  in  answer  io  the  Governor's  speech, 
mention  a  snuill  claim  of  the  Totamies,  and  some  pri- 
vate claims,  still  outstanding.      The  minutes  of  this

iateresting  conference  are  printed  at  length  in  StnitlCs 
Histoni.  Tiie  (xovernor  recommended  to  the  succeed- 
ing assembly  the  continuance  of  a  guard,  and  the  es- 
tablishment of  a  regular  trading  house;  but  neither 
measure  was  adopted.  The  amicable  relations  thus 
hap[)ily  begun,  I'emained  undisturbed  for  several 
years.  In  1764,  a  frontier  guard  of  two  hundred  men 
was  again  ke[>t  up  for  some  time,  in  ccmsequence  of 
disturbances  in  Pennsylvania  ;  bur  the  alarm  soon 
subsided. 

•'In  1769,  Gov.  Franklinattended  a  convention  lield 
with  the  six  nations,  by  several  of  the  colonial  gov- 
ernors, and  informed  the  assembly,  on  his  return,  that 
rhe}'  had  publicly  acknowledged  repeated  instances 
uf  the  justice  of  the  New  Jersey  authorities  in  bring 
ing  the  murderers  of  Indians  to  condign  punishment ; 
declared  that  they  had  no  claim  or  demand  whatsoever 
on  the  province  ;  and  in  the  most  solemn  manner  con- 
ferred on  its  government  the  distinguished  title  of, 
Safinriglrwii/of/Hha  or  the  great  arbiter,  or  doer  of 
justice— a  name  which,  the  governor  truly  remarked^ 
reflected  high  honor  upon  the  province. 

''In  1^02,  the  small  remnant  of  these  original 
possessors  of  the  soil,  remaining  in  Burlington  county, 
obtained  permission  to  sell  their  lands  and  remove  to 
a  settlement  on  the  Oneida  Lalve.  in  the  state  of  New 
York,  where  they  continued  till  18-^4  ;  when,  with 
other  Indians,  they  purchased  from  the  Menominees 
a  tract  bordering  on  Lake  Michigan,  and  removed 
thither.  In  1832,  the  New  Jersey  tribe,  reduced  to 
less  than  forty  souls,  applied  to  the  legislature  of  the 
State  for  remuneration  on  account  of  their  rights  of 
hunting  and  fishing  on  enclos'^d  lands,  which  they 
had  reserved  in  tlieir  various  agreements  and  conven- 
tions with  the  whites.     Although  no  legal  ciuim  could

be  substantiated,  yet  the  legislature  iu  kindness  and" 
through  compassion  for  the  vvandeiejs,  directed  the 
treasurer  to  pay  tli^ir  agent  two  thousand  dollars,, 
upon  tiling  in  the  office  of  the  secretary  a  full  relin- 
quishment of  all  the  rights  of  his  tribe  (Gordon's  NeAv 
Jersey),  Thus  was  extinguished  every  legal  and 
equitable  claim  of  the  Indians  to  the  soil  of  New- 
Jersey —  a  fact  which  must  gratify  eveiy  citizen  of.

treated  more  rigoronsiy;  each  offence  incurred  a  tine 
of  live  shillings*  and  if  n()t  pnid  the  stocks  received 
a  tenarxt  for  six  hours  ;  and  constables  not  doing  their 
duty  under  the  law.  were  fined  teti  shillings  foi' each 
neglect.  This  increase  of  })unishment  indicates  that 
there  v/as  a  growth  in  the  vice,  which  may  have-  been 
attributable  in  part  to  the  removal  of  restrictions  on 
the  sale  of  liquors,  in  small  quantities,  which  had 
previously  been  imposed." 

'•In  1608  each  town  Avas  obliged  to  keep  an  'ordi- 
nary' for  the  relief  and  enteriainment  of  >tr:ingcrs. 
under  a  penalty  of  forty  shillings  foi'  each  month's 
neglect  ;  and  ordinaiy-keepers  al(»ne  wer--  |)ei  niirted 
to  retail  liquors  in  less  quantities  than  two  gallons. 
In  1677  the  quantity  was  reduced  to  one  gallon,  nnd 
in  1683  liquoi-  dealers  were  debarred  the  x>iivilege  of 
recovering  debts  for  liquor  sold;  but  whatevei- good 
this  might  have  done  was  destroyed  by  the  assend)]y 
authorizing  others  than  keepers  of  inns  to  retail  siiong 
liquors  by  the  quart.  In  1692,  'forasniuch  as  there

in  several  towns,  occasioned  by  tolerating  many  per- 
sons in  selling  drink  in  private  houses'  an  attempt  was 
made  to  estahlisli  an  excise;  but  the  iollowing  year 
it  was  repealed,  and  the  licensing  of  retailers  coiitided 
to  the  GiAernor." 

*'The  observance  of  the  Lord's  day  was  required 
by  abstaining  from  all  servile  work,  unlawful  recre- 
ations, and  unnecessary  travelling.  Any  disorderly 
conduct  could  be  punished  by  confinement  in  the 
stocks,  tines,  imprisonment  or  \vhii»}»ing.  In  1704, 
under  the  administration  uf  Lord  Cornburv,  man^-  of 
the  early  i)rohibitions  were  re-enacted  ;  l)ut  by  that 
time,  it  would  seem  that  the  use  of  ardent  spirits  be- 
gan to  l^e  considered  necessary  and  essential  for  man's 
happiness,  as  keepers  of  public  houses  were  not  to 
'allow  tii)pling  on  the  Lord's  day,  exa^tfor  necessary 
refreshinent.'  ^^ 

'"  'All  iirizes,  stage  plays,  games,  mascpies,  revels, 
bull-baitings,  and  cock  lightings,  which  excite  the  peo- 
ple to  rudeness,  cruelty,  looseness  and  irreligion'  were 
to  be  discouraged  and  punished  l)y  c;ourts  of  justice, 
according  to  the  nature  of  the  offence.  Night-walkers 
or  revellers,  after  nine  o'chtck  were  to  be  secured  by 
the  constable  till  morning ;  and,  unless  excused  on 
examination,  \u  be  bound  over  to  court. 

"Swearing  or  'taking  (rod's  name  in  vain,'  was 
nuide  punishal)le  by  a  shilling  line  for  each  offence,  as 
early  as  16H8,  and  such  continued  to  be  the  law  until 
J(;m2,  when  a  si)ecial  act  provided  that  the  fine  should 
be  two  shillings  and  six])ence ;  and  if  not  paid  the 
offender  was  to  be  placed  in  the  stocks  or  wliipped 
according  t(»  liis  age,   whetlier  under  or  over  twelve." 

"Tlie  resistance  of  lawful  authority,  by  word  or 
action,  or  the  express  km  of  disrespeelful  Jmifpiage  re- 
ferrjiui  in  those,  in,  oJlfioe,  was  made  punishable  either

Sabse(Hi-'ntly  all  Jiais  were  included  — for  the  second 
offence  incurring  a  lin^-  of  twenty  shillings  :  and  if 
the  tines  were  not  paid,  the  culprits  received  corporal 
punishment,  or  were  put  in  the  stocks." 

The  following  proclamation  is  interesting.  It  was 
made  by  Mr.  Basse,  who  was  sent  over  by  the  ten 
proprietors  in  1 097  as  governor  of  the  Eastern  prov- 
ince. He  seems  to  have  adopted  the  motto  which  the 
common  seal  of  the  twenty-four  had  upon  it.  yiz.: 
"  Righteousness  exalteth  a  nation."

•n     _    . 

KW  Jersey,  one  of  the  origiual  thirteen  States,  issitu- 

uated  between  tlie  Debiware  Hiver  and  Bay  and  the 
•  Hudson  liiver  and    Athmtic    Ocean.       Its   extreme 

leiiyth  is  1G7  miles,  i^Te.itest  breadth  5i»  miles,  least  32  miles, 
giving  an  area  ot  Tblo  square  miiej^.  It  lies  between  latitude 
vJ8  degrees,  5(5  minutes,  and  41  degrees,  21  minutes,  north,  and 
longitude  78  degrees,  ~A  minutes,  and  75  degrees,  38  min- 
utes, west.  It  has  a  coast  front  of  120  miles,  not  counting 
the  coasts  of  Karitan  and  Delaware  Bays.  Its  harborage 
emln-aces  New  York  Bay,  besides  Newark  and  Earitan  Bays. 
There  are  several  estuaries  which  pierce  the  State  fi'om 
Little  Egg  Harbor,  Barnegat,  Manasquan.  affording  means 
of  transportation  by  vessels.  Besides  these  the  whole  sur- 
face of  the  State  is  drained  by  numerous  rivers  and  small 
streams,  em|)tying  into  the  Atlantic  from  its  eastern  water- 
shed or  trom  its  western  slope  into  the  Delaware,  which 
i'.»rius  the  western  boundary.  Immense  saline  marshes  stretch 
<ilong  the  banks  of  Delaware  Bav  and  adjoin  many  of  the 
interior  streams  ;  nearly  all  of  them,  however,  are  utiltzed  as 
meadow.-.  Some  of  the  hnv  lands  along  the  coast  have  been 
redeemed  from  the  sea  by  levies  thrown  up  to  kecj)  back 
the  tides,   with  trap  sluices  for  drainage  in  low  tide. 

The    north-western  portions   of  the  State  are  diveriiticd 
by  precipitous  ni;;u;itain   ranges  rising  to  the  height  of  fiuiu

1,000  to  1,800  feet  above  tide  water.  On  one  of  these  ))eaks. 
near  Raniapo,  is  a  projecting  rock  called  the  Toin.  wli erf- 
tradition  says  (^reneral  "Washington  (whose  encampment  laid 
in  the  valley  close  by)  often  stood  with  his  telescope  to  get 
a  gliiiipse  of  the  movements  of  the  British  when  they  held 
New  York. 

Iron  ore  is  found  in  !t\issex,  Passaic,  Moriis  and  War- 
ren counties.  Rich  beds  of  zinc  ore  are  found  in  Sussex 
county.  Various  kinds  of  sandstone,  among  which  is  the 
famous  red  variety,  juagnesian  limestone,  blue-tinted  and 
other  kinds  of  stone  are  quarried  in  large  quantities  for 
building  purposes.  Slate,  for  rooting  and  school  purposes 
are  extensively-  quarried  on  the  eastern  slope  of  the  Blue- 
range.  Fire  clay  and  l^otsdam  clay  are  extensively  dug 
in  the  vicinity  of  Woodbridge,  Amboy  and  Trenton.  Sand, 
for  glass  manufacture,  is  procured  in  lai-ge  quantities,  near 
Millville,  Winslow  and  Jackson. 

The  soil  has  been  greatly  improved  by  the  best  system 
of  agriculture  known,  the  incentive  to  Avhich  is  found  in  the 
large  demand  for  fruits,  berries  and  vegetables  from  the 
adjacent  cities  of  NeAV  York  and  Philadelphia.  To  supply 
this  demand  the  central  portions  of  the  State,  esiDecially 
those  nearest  to  these  cities  have  been  converted  into  imjuense 
gardens,  from  which  these  products  are  speedily  sent  to  mar- 
ket during  their  season. 

New  Jersey  is  among  the  foremost  in  manufacturers^, 
especially  those  of  iron  and  glass.  The  largest  of  these  are 
at  Jersey  City,  where  steam  is  the  power  used,  but  these 
factories  are  distributed  throughout  the  State  where  Avater 
power  is   found. 

The  Morris  Canal  extends  from  Jersey  City  to  Piiil]y)s- 
burg,  a  dtstance  of  101  miles,  and  lias  a  large  carrying  trade  in 
coal  and  heavy  mercliandise.  The  Delaware  and  Raritan 
Canal  connects  Trenton  on  the  Delaware,  with  Brunswick 
on  the  Earitan,  and  has  a  feeder  22  miles  long  from  Bull's 
Island.  It  lias  about  2,000  miles  of  railroad,  the  most  im- 
portant  of  wliich    are   those   which    connect  New  York  and 


HISTORY    OF  ^EW  JERSEY.  67 

Philadelphia,  and  the  New  York  aud  Erie  and  its  feeders. 

Tlio  proximity  of  the  State  to  two  citie.>  of  such  magnitude 
at*  Now  York  and  Philadelphia,  prevents  the  centralization  of 
trudc  to  uny  portion  ot  iiei  own  territory  sufficiently  to  produce 
metropolitan  cities,  lint  it  is  oniy  a  fair  liypothesis  that  the  State 
receives  from  the  cities  of"  lier  adjacent  States  a  larger  tribute  in 
su])plyino-  their  wants,  than  slic  pays  to  them  in  purchasing  their 
wares. 

In  sumuier  resorts  the  State  is  especially  favored.  Long 
Branch  and  Ocean  Grrove  are  crowded  with  visitors  from  the  great 
cities.  Cape  May,  Atlantic  City,  Seabright,  etc.,  also  present 
great  attracticms  to  the  seekers  of  pleasure  and  comfort,  and 
throughout  trie  whole  State  at  farms  and  villages  are  scattered, 
during  the  hot  months,  thousands  who  tiee  from  the  cities. 

The  public  schools  of  New  Jersey  are  excellent,  about  210,- 
000  pupils  being  enrolled  and  3,300  teachers. 

The  State-  Nurical  School  at  Trenton  is  i>f  great  excellence, 
.ind  has  connected  witl'  it  a  model  tiainino- school.  The  higher 
sthi^ols  of  tiie  State  are  justly  celebrated,  and  number  4  colleges, 
4  collegiate  schools  for  women,  3  scientific  schools  (one  being 
the  State  Agricultural  and  Scientific  College  connected  with 
iiutgurs),  and  4  schools  of  theology.  The  New  Jersey  State 
Lunatic  Asylum  is  at  Trenton,  which  has  also  a  State  Industrial 
School  for  Girls;  and  there  is  a  State  Keform  School  for  juvenile 
delin(|uents,  near  Jamesburg,  and  a  well-managed  home  for  sol- 
diers' children  at  Trenton,  with  a  branch  for  colored  soldiers' 
orphan,--  at  Bridgewater.  At  Hoboken  is  Stevens'  Institute  of 
Technology,  one  of  the  leading  schools  of  its  kind  m  the  United 
States. 

The  churches  of  all  denominations  report  1,504  church  or- 
uanizations,  1,455  church  edifices,  573.303  sittings,  1,421  minis- 
ters, 18.5,160  members,  and  )|19,043,510  value  of  church  prop- 
erty. The  Methodists  number  7l,t3  n-in'ou's,  almost  double 
that  of  any  other  denomination.  The  Presbyterians  come  next 
with  40,003  members.  New  .Jersey  has  192  newsi)a(»ers,  with  an 
aggregate  circulation  of  243,600.

r^  N  act  was  i)assed  by  the  Geiierai  Assembly  in 
CM.  1709  erecting  and  bounding  the  old  counties 
""^^  ^-^  of  New  Jersey.  PreVions  to  this,  how- 
ever, eight  had  been  formed.  In  1675,  Salem, 
Monmouth  and  Essex  were  formed  ;  in  1677.  Cxlonces- 
ter ;  in  1682,  Middlesex  ;  in  1688,  Somerset  ;  in  1692, 
Cape  May,  and  in  1694,  Burlington.  In  1702  upon 
the  x)roprietors  surrendering  their  charter  to  Queen 
Anne,  Eagt  and  West  Jersey  were  united  linder  one 
government  and  the  royal  authority  extended  over 
them.  The  iirst  four  assemblies,  held  at  Bergen  and 
Burlington,  did  nothing  toward  detifting  the  civil  di- 
visions of  the  provincf^. 

The  tifth  assembly  held  at  Burlington  in  1709, 
passed  an  act  dividing  thf'  boundaries  of  al]  the  coun- 
ties in  the  province  as  follows  :  *'  In  the  Eastern  divis- 
ion, the  county  of  Bergen  should  begin  at  Constable's 
Hook, and  so  run  up  along  the  bay  and  Hudson  River 
to  the  partition  point  between  New  York,  and  so  to 
run  along  the  partition-line  between  the  provinces  and 
the  division-line  of  the  Eastern  and  Western  divisions 
of  this  province  to   Pequanock   River  ;  and  so  to  run

Sussex  remained  in  that  way  till  it  was  reduced 
to  its  present  dimensions  by  the  detachment  of  War- 
ren County  in  1824. 

EaKLV    SETTLEMEJNrTS.      • 

The  hrst  settlement  in  Sussex  County,  which  then 
included  Warren.  Avas  i)ait  of  a  general  movement  to- 
wards the  west  made  from  the  Dutch  settlements  on 
the  Hudson,  and  was  located  in  the  upjtei'  valley  of 
the  Dehiware.  "  The  settlers  were  of  the  same  Hu- 
guenot and  Holland  stock — the  former  born  in  France, 
from  which  they  had  been  driven  by  persecution  but 
a  few  years  l>efore,  while  the  latter,  if  not  themselves 
natives  of  Holland,  were  the  immediate  descendents 
of  thosf  born  in  ihat  ('ountry,  which  then  offered  an 
asylum  for  the  persecuted  and  oppressed  of  all  na- 
tions, and  whose  struggles  in  behalf  of  civil  and  j-elig- 
ious  liberty  were  so  memorable." 

"  The  first  settlers  came  here  directly  from  Ulster 
County,  N.  Y..  the  tide  of  immigration  setting  up  the 
Mamakatiiig  Valley  and  thence  to  the  Delaware,  down 
which  it  flowed  until  it  was  met  by  another  current 
ascending  from  Philadelphia.     The  two   currents  of

population  which  thus  met  aud  mingled  in  the  undent 
valley  of  the  Minisink  and  s2->read  along  the  border  of 
these  counties  from  the  Neversink  to  the  Masconet- 
cong  were  of  divers  nationalities,  yet  all  uniting  in 
one  com  iron  diaracteristic, — a,  native  love  of  liberty 
and  a  desire  to  tind  freedom  from  the  civil  ilnd  eccle- 
siastical restraints  which  had  burdened  and  hampered 
them  in  the  Old  World.  Those  coming  in  from  the 
north  wei'e  Huguenots  and  Hollanders  ;  those  from 
the  south  were  Welsh,  Quakers,  Germans  and  Scotch- 
Irislj,  with  a  considerable  intermixture  of  the  Puritan 
of  New  England,  all  noted  for  their  struggles  for  civil 
and  religious  liberty  in  the  several  Eurox)ean  countries 
from  whence  they  came.  These  formed  the  basis  of 
the  early  population  not  merely  of  Sussex  and  War- 
ren counties,  but  of  the  upper  Delaware  valley  gen- 
erally, including  the  river  settlements  in  the  three 
States  of  New  Jersey,  New  Y^ork  and  Pennsylvania.'' 

The  precise  time  when  the  Minisink  valley  was 
settJed  by  the  Dutch  and  Huguenots  is  not  clearly 
established.  The  "Old  Mine  Road"  which  it  is 
thought  was  made  and  used  as  early  as  1650  by  a 
conjpany  of  miners  from  Holland,  was  abandoned  as 
a  mining-road  upon  the  accession  of  the  English  rule 
in  lf;64. 

''The  main  body  of  these  men  are  believed  to 
have  returned  to  their  native  land,  yet  a  few  undoubt- 
edly remained  and  settled  in  the  vicinity  of  their 
abandoned  mines.  Here  then  we  have  the  point  at 
which  ihe  tirst  settlement  in  the  County  was  made. 
Here  log  ca})ins  were  built  and  orchards  planted,  when 
the  sit^  of  Philadelj)hia  was  a  wilderness.  The  Swede* 
in  W^est  JerBey,  and  the  Dutch  and  Norwegian  set- 
tlers in  Bergen,  antedate  the  pioneers  of  Pahaquarry 
but  a  few  years."

Settlements    in    Otiieh    Parts    of    Sussex    and 
Wakken  Counties.* 

"Our  purpose  is  to  give  under  this  head  a  brief 
summary  of  the  first  settlements  in  Sussex  and  War- 
ren counties  outside  of  tlie  Minisink  valley. 

While  the  latter  portion  of  our  territory  was  be- 
ing peopled  as  we  have  •  described,  immigrants  were 
coming  in  to  the  southward  from  quite  a  different  di- 
rection. Lands  were  patented  and  settled  near 
Phillipsburg  by  Messrs.  Lane  and  Morrill,  from  Ire- 
land, about  the  beginning  of  the  eighteenth  century. 
In  17B.5  three  brothers  named  Green  settled  in  that 
part  of  old  Greenwich  now  known  as  Oxford  town- 
ship. They  were  soon  followed  by  the  McKees,  Mc- 
Murtrys,  McCrackens.  Axfords,  Robesons,  Shippins, 
Andersons.  Kennedys,  Stewarts,  Loders,  Hulls.  Scotts, 
Brands.  Bowlbys.  Swayzes.  Shackletons,  and  Arm- 
strongs, all  of  whom  were  Scotch- Ii-ish  Presbyterians, 
with  the  exception  of  Robeson,  the  Greens,  and  pos- 
sibly one  or  two  others.  Here  as  a  consequence  of 
this  unanimity  of  religious  faith  and  nationality,  the 
tirst  Presbyterian  church  in  the  two  counties  was 
erected  in  1744,  following  the  old  Dutch  Reformed 
churches  of  the  Minisink  within  a  very  few  years  of 
their  date.  It  may  be  mentioned  that  the  first  pastor 
of  the  Presbyterian  church  of  Greenwich  was  Rev. 
James  Campbell,  and  that  he  was  followed  by  David 
Brainerd,  the  celebrated  missionary  to  the  Indians, 
who'-e  labors  called  him  frequently  into  the  vicinity. 
He  lived  for  sonie  time  at  the  ''  Iri'^h  Settlement"'  in 
Pennsylvania,  now  known  as  Lower  Mount  Bethel, 
about  five  miles  from  Belvidere,  where  the  site  .of  his 
ancient  cabin  is  still  pointed  out  to  the  curious  trav-

eller.  Tn  speaking  of  Rev.  Braiiierd  it  may  be  well' 
to  notice  a  singiilar  mistake  made  by  Rev.  Peter 
Kanoiise  in  his  •*  Historical  Sf^rmcn."  He  speaks  of 
the  Nev»^rsink  emi)tying  into  the  Delaware  and  con- 
stituting what  in  Hi-.  Brain^^rd's  time  was  called  "The 
Forks  of  the  Delaware"  and  where  was  th»^  field  of 
his  labors  in  an  Indian  settlement  named  Shakhawo- 
tung,  now  known  as  ''Carpenter's  Point."  It  is 
well  known  that  "Tlip  Forks  of  the  Delaware"  where 
Brainerd  had  his  chief  mission,  was  at  Easton,  the 
forks  being  formed  by  the  Delaware  and  Lehigh, 
which  form  a  conlinence  at  that  point.  "Shakhawo- 
tnng."  the  name  of  the  Indian  town,  signifies  "where 
a  smaller  stream  empties  into  a  larger  one,  or  the  out- 
let," shal-vmli  being  the  general  Delaware  word  for 
"the  month  of  a  river." 

"The  first  fni'nace  for  the  manufacture  of  iron  in 
Sussex  county  was  erected  by  Jonathan  Robeson,  in 
the  then  townshiji  of  Grreenwich.  It  was  commenced 
in  1741,  but  iron  was  not  run  till  March  9,  1743.  He 
callf'd  this  Oxford  Furnace  in  compliment  to  Andrew 
Rol)eson,  his  father,  who  had  been  sent  to  England 
and  educated  at  Oxford  University.  Prom  this  fur- 
nace the  town  of  Oxford  —  which  was  formed  twenty 
years  aft«:'rward  —  took  its  name.  Jonathan  Robeson 
was  OUH  of  the  first  judges  of  Sussex  county.  His 
fatli^r  and  grandfather  both  wore  the  ermine  before 
liini  in  P^^nnsylvania,  while  his  son,  grandson  and 
great-grandson,  each  in  his  turn  occupied  seats  on  the 
judicial  bench.  \Vm.  P.  Robeson  of  Warren  county 
was  the  sixth  judge  in  regular  descent  from  his  an- 
cestor, Andrew  Robeson,  who  came  to  America  with 
William  IVnn  and  was  a  member  of  Governor  Mark- 
ham's  I'rivy  Council.  In  this  country,  where  the

of  honor,  and  wheie  ability  and  honesty  are  — or 
ought  to  be  —  the  only  passports  to  public  distinction, 
this  remarkable  succession  of  officers  in  one  family 
affords  a  rare  example  of  hereditary  merit,  and  is.  so 
far  as  we   know,  without  a  parallel  in  our  judicial 

annals." 

Another  of  the  first  settlements  in  Sussex  and 
Warren  was  made  by  meiribers  of  the  Society  of 
Friends  in  that  part  of  ancient  Hardwick  called  "the 
Quaker  Settlement."  The  pioneers  in  this  locality 
came  from  Maiden  Creek  (now  Attleborough.  Pa.) 
and  from  Crosswicks,  N.  J.,  from  1735  to  1740.  They 
were  the  Wilsons,  Lundy's  and  others  and  must  be 
set  down  as  among  the  very  first  settiers  of  ancient 
Harkwick.  The  settlers  here  were  so  few  in  number 
that  when  the  first  farm-house  in  the  settlement  was 
erected  they  were  obliged  to  secure  help  from  Hun- 
terdon county.  The  heavy  timbers  then  put  into 
frames  required  a  greater  force  to  lift  them  to  their 
place  than  is  needed  in  raising  modern  frame  struc- 
tures, and  this  may  account  for  the  fact  that  this  first 
frame  building  erected  in  the  settlement  stood  the 
blasts  of  more  than  a  century  and  a  half  without  hav- 
ing been  seriously  impaired. 

The  deed  for  the  ground  on  which  The  Friend's 
meeting-house  in  this  place  was  built  was  given  by  Rich- 
ard Penn,  a  grandson  of  William  Penn,  in  1752.  Pre- 
vious tothe  erection  of  a  mill  in  this  neighborhood  the 
people  took  their  grain  to  Kingwood,  in  Hunterdon 
county,  to  be  ground. 

Mr.  Edsall  from  reliable  date  furnished  him  has 
summed  up  the  settlements  in  other  portions  of  Sus- 
sex and  Warren  as  follows  :  "In  that  pait  of  ancient 
Newton  known  as  Vernon  township  there  were  some 
early  settlements  principally  consisting  of  tbcse  who 


78  HISTORY  OF  WARREN  COUNTY. 

had  rirst  tried  their  fortunes  in  Orange  county.     One 
Jose])!!  Perry,  wko  had  prepared  for  the  erection  of  a 
house  there  about  the  year  1740,  could  not  raise  the 
timbers  without  procuring  help  from  New  Windsor. 
Col.  De  Kay  settled  in  New  York  upon  the  edge  of 
this  township  in  1711 ;   some  of  his  lands  which  he 
held  under  a  New  York  patent  now  lie  this  side  the 
boundary  line.     The  McComleys,  Campbells,  Edsalls, 
Winans,  Hynards,   Simonsons,   etc.,   did  not  come  in 
until  just  before  the   Revolution  at  which  period  a 
considerable  amount  of  population  had  spread  not 
only    over    Vernon,     but    tliroughout    Hardystown. 
Joseph  Shar[)  —  the  father,  I  believe,  of  the  late  ven- 
era})le  Joseph  Sharp  of  Vernon  —  who  had  obtained  a 
propiietary  right  to  a  large  body  of  land  stretching 
from  Deckertown  to  the  sources  of  the  Wallkill,  came 
from  Salem  county  a  few  years  before  the  Revoluton 
and  erected  a  furnace  and  forge  about  one  mile  south 
of  Hamburg,  which  were  known  tor  some  years  as  the 
'Sharps})orough  Iron  Works.'      This  was  the  sticond 
furnace  erected  in  Sussex  county      Sharp  lost  a  great 
deal  from  this  enterprise  ;  and  particularly  from   the 
annoyance  which  he  met  with  from  the  sheriff  of  the 
county, —  who,  under  certain  circumstances,  is  well- 
known  to  be  a  most  unwelcome  visitor  —  he  abandoned 
the  works."     Robert  Ogden  removed  from  Elizabeth- 
town  and  settled  in  Vernon  in  1765  or  1766.      He  was 
long  one  of  the  judges  of  the  courts  of  the  county,  and 
one   of   its   most    prominent    and    patriotic   citizens. 
Three  of  his  sons  fought  in  the  war  for  independence, 
and  one  of  tiiem  —  Col.   Aaron  Ogden  —  commanded 
the  honoied    regiment   known   as  (leneral    Washing- 
ton's Life-Guard. 

"  From  the  year  1740  to   the  close  of  the  Revolu- 
tion there   was  a  considerable  immigration  of  Ger- 


HISTORY  OF  WARREN  COrNTY.  79 

mans.  Among  the  first  of  this  class  were  John  Bern- 
hart  and  Casper  Shafer,  his  son-in-law.  They  had 
purchased  lands  where  Still w^ater  village  now  is,  of 
persons  in  Philadelphia,  and  in  the  year  1742  by  the 
Delaware  and  the  valley  of  the  Paiilinskill,  they 
journeyed  to  their  destination  and  took  possession  of 
the  tra(!t  indicated  by  their  title-deeds.  They  were 
followed  in  a  fe'.v  years  by  the  Wintermntes.  the 
Snovers,  Swartsw^elders.  Staleys,  Merkels,  Schmncks, 
Snooks,  Mains,  Couses,  and  a  large  number  of  other 
Germans,  who  settled  principally  in  the  valley  of  the 
Paulinskill,  although  a  portion  branched  off  in  other 
directions.  Mr.  Bernhardt  lived  only  a  few  years 
after  his  arrival.  He  died  in  1748,  and  was  the  lirst 
person  buried  in  the  cemetery  of  the  old  German 
church,  —  the  cemt^tery  having  been  us'^d  before  the 
church  was  built,  v/hich  w^as  not  erected  till  1771.  In 
the  beginning  of  his  life  in  the  backw^oods,  Mr.  Shafer 
found  it  necessary  to  cross  the  Pahaqualin  Mountain 
to  gr^t  his  grist  ground  ;  the  mode  adopted  was  that 
of  leading  a  horse  along  an  Indian  tiaii.  upon  wdiose 
back  the  bag  of  grain  was  borne.  This  inconvenience 
suggested  to  him  the  expedient  of  constructing  a 
mill  upon  his  ow^n  property,  w^hich  he  did  in  the  fol- 
lowing primitive  manner  :  First,  he  built  a  low  dam 
.of  cobblestones,  filled  in  with  gravel,  across  th^^  kill, 
to  create  a  water-power;  he  then  drove  the  piles  into 
the  ground,  forming  a  foundation  for  his  building  to 
rest  upon  ;  then  upon  these  he  built  a  small  frame  or 
log  mill- house,  furnishing  it  with  one  small  run  of 
stones,  and  other  equally  simple  and  primitivp  ma- 
chinery. His  mill  being  thns  furnished  and  put  in 
operation,  was  capable  of  grinding  about  five  bushels 
a  day;  yet  it  was  a  great  convenience  and  was  resorted 
to  from  far  and  near.     Tn  a  few  years  he  built  a  better

mill  and  coirmienced  shipping  tioiir  to  Pliiladelpliia' 
loading  it  on  aiiat-boat  and  running  it  down  the  Paiil- 
inskill  and  the  Delaware  to  its  place  of  destination. 
'Mr.  Sliafer  was  the  tirst  nian  in  this  region  to  open 
a  business  intercourse  with  Elizabethtown  ;  he  heard 
from  the  Indians  in  his  vicinity  that  there  was  a  large 
place  fa]'  away  to  the  southeast  which  they  called 
"Tespatone",  and  he  determined  to  ascertain  the 
truth  of  this  assertion.  He  travelled  over  mountains 
and  through  bogs  and  forests,  and  after  a  rough 
journey  of  some  lifty  miles  he  arrived  at  the  veritable 
"  Old  Borough".  He  opened  a  traffic  in  a  moderate 
wny  at  this  time,  and  thus  laid  the  foundation  of  that 
protitable  intercourse  between  the  southeastern  towns 
and  cities  and  Northern  New  Jersey  which  has  in- 
creased from  that  time  to  the  present,  and  almost 
entirely  excluded  Philadelphia  from  participation  in 
the  trade  from  this  part  of  the  State.' 

"  Robert  Paterson  was  the  first  settler  at  Belvi- 
dere  according  to  the  'Historical  Collections,'  about 
the  year  1755.  'Shortly  after,  a  block  house  was 
erected  on  the  north  side  of  the  Request,  some  thirty 
or  forty  yards  east  of  the  toll-house  of  the  Belvidere 
Delaware  bridge.  Some  time  previous  to  the  Revolu- 
tionary war  a  battle  was  fought  on  the  Pennsylvania 
side  of  the  river  between  a  band  of  Indians  who  came 
from  the  north  and  the  Delawares  residing  on  the 
.Jersey  side.'  The  name  'Belvidere'  was  given  to  the 
village  by  Maj.  Robert  Hoops  because  of  the  beauty 
of  its  situation.  It  was  made  the  county-seat  of 
AVarren  county,  when  the  latter  was  set  off  from  Sus 
sex,  in  1S24. 

"The  Greens,  Armstrongs,  Pettits,  VanHorns, 
Simes,  Hazens,  Dyers,  Cooks,  Shaws  and  others  set- 
tled in  and  around  the  present  village  of  Johnsonburg, 


"HISTORY  OF  WARREN  COUNTY.  81 

foTmerly  called  the  '  Log  Jail,'  where  the  county-seat 
of  Sussex  was  iirst  located  and  the  first  jail  built. 

"In  1769  the  Moravian  Brethren,  from  Bethle- 
hem, Pa.,  purchased  fifteen  hundred  acres  of  land  of 
Samuel  Green  for  the  sum  of  five  hundred  and  sixty- 
:  three  pounds,  or  about  two  thousand  five  hundred 
dollars,  and  founded  the  village  of  Hope.  This  Samuel 
Green  was  a  deputy  surveyor  for  the  West  Jersey 
proprietors,  and  owned  several  tracts  of  land  in  an- 
cient Hardwick  and  Greenwich. '  The  Moravians  re- 
mained at  Hope  some  thirty-five  years,  when  they 
■  commenced  selling  their  property  and  returned  to 
IBethlehem;  Sampson  Howell,  who  settled  at  the  foot 
of  Jenny  Jump  Mountain,  near  Hojie,  a  year  or  two 
before  the  Moravians  arrived,  erected  a  saw-mill  and 
supplied  the  lumber  for  the  construction  of  the  very 
substantial  buildings  erected  by  the  United  Brethren." 
We  have  thus  glanced  briefl.y  at  the  first  settle- 
ments in  the  principal  parts  of  Sussex  and  Warren. 
They  Avere  made  for  the  most  part  within  a  period  of 
about  fifty  years,  embracing  the  first  half  of  the 
eighteenth  century,— that  is  by  the  year  1750  perma- 
nent settlements  had  been  made  in  most  of  the  im- 
portant parts  of  the  two  counties.  When  Morris 
county  was  set  off  in  1738,  northern  New  Jersey  be- 
gan to  attract  attention.  It  was  then  ascertained 
that,  although  this  section  had  at  a  remote  period  evi- 
dently been  g,  favorite  residence  of  the  Indians,  most 
of  them  had  departed  and  occu|)ied  hunting  grounds 
farther  to  the  north  and  west.  Little  danger  was 
therefore  to  be  apprehended  from  the  red  men  by 
those  who  settled  in  the  central  portions  of  the  terri- 
tory ;  for,  even  if  they  should  become  hostile,  the 
line  of  settlements  on  the  Delaware  from  the  Mus- 
conetcong  to  the  Neversink  would  be  more  apt  to  bear  •

the  brunt.  Hence  immigrants  liowed  in,  and  by  1760 
they  had  become  so  numerous  and  had  experienced 
so  much  inconvenience  from  being  compelled  to  go  to 
Morristown  to  attend  to  public  business,  that  they 
very  generally  petitioned  the  Provincial  Assembly  to 
"divide  the  county"  and  allow  them  "the  liberty  of 
building  a  court-house  and  gaol."  This  request  was 
granted,  resulting  in  the  erection  and  organizati(m  of 
Sussex  county  in  1758.  As  to  the  nationalities  con- 
stituting the  base  of  population,  Mr.  Edsall  made  as- 
comi)lerf^  a  list  as  practicable  from  the  public  records 
for  the  first  six  years  of  the  existence  of  the  county. 
"This  list  contains  four  hundred  and  two  names,  of 
which  those  ifidicating  an  English  and  Scotch  origin 
are  the  most  numerous  ;  those  pertaining  to  Holland 
and  Germany  follow  next,  and  the  residue  are  derived 
from  France,  Ireland,  Wales  and  Norway." 

One  thing  which  stood  very  much  in  the  way  of 
the  prosperity  of  the  early  settlers  was  the  appropri- 
ation by  the  proi^rietors  of  many  portions  of  the  best 
land  in  the  county.  As  early  as  1715,  when  as  yet 
but  two  or  three  points  in  the  whole  territory  had 
been  settled,  the  sagacious  proi)rietors  of  West  Jer- 
sey, fors*^eing  that  these  lands  would  ultimately  be- 
come very  valuable,  sent  their  surveyors,  who  pene- 
trated the  heart  of  the  country  establishing  "butts 
and  hounds"  of  many  of  the  most  desirable  tracts. 
Among  others  William  Penn  located  three  tracts  of 
land,  containing  ten  or  twelve  thousand  acres,  in 
around  the  vicinity  of  Newton.  "In  this  way  the 
best  locations  were  generally  entered  before  any  im- 
migrants had  arrived  in  the  central  portions  of  the 
county,  and  they  had  to  cultivate  the  soil,  when  they 
did  come,  as  tenants  or  trespassers." 


FRENCH  AND  INDIAN  WAR,  1755.

«»)■ — r-4-^:r^~gi» 


L-'HE  people  of  New  Jersey  treated  tlie  Indians  with 
J  exceptional  fairness  and  the  troubles  begun  in 
1755  by  the  Indians  were  not  reincited  by  any  act 
of  injustice.  The  people  of  the  province  of  New  Jer- 
sey had  never  shed  any  of  their  blood  or  cheated  them 
out  of  their  lands.  Nevertheless  the  frontiers  of  Sus- 
sex and  Warren  counties  were  the  sites  of  much  car- 
nage and  bloodshed  from  1755  to  1758.  The  causes  of 
this  savage  attack  and  massacre,  were,  however,  en- 
tirely beyond  their  control.  It  was  at  a  time  when 
France  and  England  were  at  war  and  the  colonies  be- 
longing respectively  to  the  above-named  nations  "had 
secured  the  alliance  of  the  various  Indian  tribes,  on 
one  side  or  the  other  in  the  great  contest  then  pend- 
ing." The  Iroquois,  or  Six  Nations,  of  New  York, 
were  for  the  English  and  were  great  factors  in  the 
struggle  that  resulted  in  the  defeat  of  the  French. 
The  Iroquois  were  the  hereditary  enemies  of  the  Dela- 
ware and  Susquehanna  Indians.  The  French  had  at 
this  time  extensive  possessions  in  the  vicinity  of  the 
St.  Lawrence  and  had  forts  extending  from  Quebec  to 
Mobile  Bay,  and  their  agents,  traders  and  missionaries 
were  widely  scattered  among  the  Indians  of  all  that 
region  of  country.  Although  "Lake  Champlain, 
Niagara  and  Pittsburg  were  at  that  time  the  nearest 
points  to  New  Jersey  fortified  by  the  French,  yet  her 


84  HISTOHY  OF  WARREN  COUNTY. 

frontier  was  accessible  by  a  few  days'  march  along 
the  great  trails  leading  to  the  Susquehanna  and  Dela- 
ware rivers.*'  These  paits  were  then  moich  exposed, 
as  the  Iroquois  were  away  fighting  for  the  English  at 
other  ])laces.  It  is  very  probable  that  the  Indians 
who  niuidered  nn  the  borders  of  Sussex  and  Warren 
were  incited  to  their  deeds  of  blood  by  the  French. 

Tli^re  was  another  cause  more  local  in  its  charac- 
ter, Avhich  embittered  and  prolonged  the  strife. 
William  Penn  had  obtained  his  lands  of  the  Minsies, 
through  his  agents,  by  the  famous  "walking  pur- 
chase" of  1787.  This  the  Indians  deemed  unfair,  and 
distrust  and  jealousy  took  the  place  of  the  confidence 
which  they  had  before  had  in  the  whites.  They 
smothered  their  resentment  till  17.^5  and  then  resolved 
to  seek  revenge  and  again  obtain  possession  of  the 
country  that  had  been  procured  from  them  by  treach- 
ery and  fraud.  It  is,  however,  to  be  deplored  that 
the  innocent  as  well  as  the  guilty  suffered  in  the  storm 
of  blood  and  carnage  which  swept  over  the  valley 
during  those  terrible  years  of  war.  The  savage,  in  the 
height  of  his  fury,  seldom  pauses  to  consider  whether 
the  scalp  belongs  to  friend  or  foe.  The  conflicts  were 
mostly  confined  to  the  Pennsylvania  side  of  the  Dela- 
ware, but  New  Jersey  also  felt  the  shock  of  the 
conflict. 

In  December  of  the  same  year  the  Legislature 
passed  an  act  authorizing  the  erection  of  four  blcc  k- 
houses  on  the  Delaware  in  Sussex  county.  Jchn 
Stevens  and  John  Johnson  were  designated  to  super- 
intend their  erection.  They  had  "voluntarily  offered 
themselves  for  that  service  .^rr//y>.''  Twohurdred  and 
fifty  men  were  enlisted  to  garrison  the  block-houses 
and  ten  thousand  pounds  were  granted  to  pay  the  ex- 
penses of  protecting  the  frontiers. 


HISTORY  OF  WARREN  COUNTY.  85 

The  troops  rhat  were  enlisted  were  to  serve  one 
month,  or  until  their  places  could  be  tilled  by  others. 

The  block- houses  that  were  erected  were  num- 
bered from  I  to  4.  They  were  garrisoned  as  soon  as 
possible  yet  the  Indians  continued  to  make  incursions 
into '  the  neighborhood  and  to  form  ambuscades  so 
near  to  the  forts  that  j)arties  going  out  hunting  or 
fishing  were  on  one  or  two  occasions  surprised  and 
killed.  It  became  necessary  to  issue  an  order  to  the 
effect  that  all  officers  and  soldiers  should  remain  with- 
in their  garrisons.  During  times  of  general  alarm 
whole  -leighborhoods  liocked  to  the  block-houses. 

\Vith  all  the  vigilence  of  the  garrisons  the  Indians 
would  sometimes  elude  them  and  get  inside  and  do 
their  bloody  work.  They  did  so  when  they'  came 
over  into  Hardwick  and  captured  the  Hunts  and 
Swart wouts.  ''A  party  of  five  Indians,  who  had  for- 
merly resided  in  the  neighborhood  but  had  removed 
to  Pennsylvania,  determined  to  capture  three  men  — 
Richard  Hunt,  Harker  and  Swartwout  —  having  be- 
come disaffected  towards  them  because  of  the  part 
they  had  taken  in  the  colonial  service.  They  accord- 
ingly t-rossed  the  Delaware  near  where  Dingman's 
ferry  now  is,  and  in  the  evening  reached  the  log  house 
of  Richard  Hunt,  having  travelled  about  fifteen  miles 
on  the  Jersey  side  of  the  river.  Richard  Hunt  was. 
absent  from  home  and  the  only  occupants  of  the  house, 
at  the  time  were  Thomas  Hunt,  a  younger  brother, 
and  a  negro  servant.  The  latter  was  engaged  in 
amusing  himself  and  companion  by  playing  on  a 
violin,  when  their  sport  was  suddenly  interrupted  by 
the  Indians.  Quick  as  thought  the  boys  sprang  to 
the  door,  closed  and  bolted  it.  Their  fun  was  at  an 
end,  and  the  negro,  in  his  terror,  'threw  his  fiddle 
into  the  fire  and   awaited  in  trembling  suspense  the 


-86  HISTORY  OF  WAKREN  COUNTY. 

result  of  the  unwelcome  visit.'  The  Indians  disap- 
peared and  were  Q;one  about  an  hour.  It  was  discov- 
ered, by  their  footprints  in  a  newly  plowed  piece  of 
ground,  that  during  their  absence  they  had  recon- 
noitred the  house  of  Mr.  Dildine,  where  Richard 
Hunt  happened  to  be  at  the  time  ;  but  they  evidently 
dared  not  make  an  attack  at  that  place.  Returning 
to  Mr.  Hunt's  house,  tliev  made  a  movement  to  set  it 
on  lire,  threatening  to  burn  the  inmates  alive  if  they 
did  not  surrender.  The  boys  yielded  and  were  forced 
to  accompany  the  savages,  who  proceeded  toward  the 
Delaware  by  the  way  of  the  southerly  end  of  Great 
Pond,  and  soon  came  to  the  house  of  Swartwuot,  who 
lived  on  the  tract  now  occupied  by  the  village  of  New 
Paterson.  Mrs.  Swartwout,  soon  after  their  ajjproach 
to  the  house,  went  out  to  the  milk-house  without  a 
thought  of  danger,  and  was  instantly  shot  down. 
They  then  attemi)ted  to  enter  the  house,  but  Swart- 
wout seized  his  rille  and  held  them  in  check.  Finally 
he  agreed  to  surrender  if  they  would  spare  his  life  and 
the  lives  (;f  his  son  and  daughtei'.  They  consented  to 
this  proposition,  but  they  either  tliemselves  violated 
their  pledge  or,  what  was  worse,  i^rocured  a  white 
man  t(»  do  it,  for  S wart w(nit  was  murdered,  and  a  man 
named  Springer  was  arrested,  convicted  and  hung  for 
the  niurdei-.  Swartwouf  s  two  children  were  taken  to 
an  Indian  town  on  the  Susquehanna,  while  Hunt  and 
the  negro  were  taken  to  Canada.  Hunt  was  sold  by 
bis  emptors  to  a  French  military  officer  and  accompa- 
nied liiiii  as  liis  servant.  His  motlier,  anxious  for  his 
deliveiance  if  alive,  attended  the  general  conference 
at  Easton,  in  October,  ITHS,  where  a  treaty  was  made 
with  the  Six  Nations,  and,  finding  a  savage  there  who 
knew  ]i«'r  son,  she  gave  him  sixty  pounds  to  procure 
his  fiHpdom   and   return   him    to   his   friends.      This 


HISTORY  OF  WARREN  COUNTY.  87 

proved  money  wasted.  Hunt  was  soon  after  liberated 
under  that  provision  of  the  treaty  of  Easton  which 
made  a  restoration  of  prisoners  oblicratory  uj)on  the 
Indians,  and  readied  home  in  1759,  after  a  servitude 
of  three  years  and  nine  months.  Swartwout's  chil- 
dren must  have  l)een  freed  about  a  year  after  their 
captnre,  for  we  lind  his  son  in  New  Jersey  in  1757, 
active  in  causing  the  arrest  of  a  white  man  named 
Benjamin  Springer,  whom  he  charged  with  being  the 
murderer  of  his  father." 

Springer  A^as  tried  in  Morris  county  according  to 
an  act  passed  by  the  Assembly  Oct.  27,  1757.  The 
trial  was  transferred  to  Morris  count}'  "because  the 
Indian  disturbances  in  Sussex  rendered  it  difficult,  if 
not  dangerous  to  hold  a  Court  of  Oyer  and  Terminer 
there,''  Springer  had  a  fair  trial  and  was  convicted, 
but  many  afterwards  believed  him  to  have  been 
wrongly  accused. 

When  the  troubles  began  with  the  Indians  in 
1756,  most  of  the  settlers  along  the  slopes  of  the  Blue 
Mountains  took  the  precaution  to  fortify  their  houses 
by  building  stockades  around  them.  A  number  of 
Indians  lived  in  the  neighborhood  at  that  time  nnd 
though  openly  friendly  it  was  not  known  how  soon 
th-^y  might  rush  forth  with  the  tomahawk  and  scalp^ 
ing  knife.  Mr.  Casper  Shafer  lived  in  this  neighbor^ 
hood  and  his  house  was  quite  a  resort  during  any 
unusual  alarm.  One  night,  however,  when  he  was 
alone,  the  Indians  came,  surrounded  his  house,  and 
by  their  yells,  etc.,  showed  unmistakable  signs  of  hos- 
tility. He  barred  up  his  house,  and  started  across 
the  fields  to  get  assistance.  "Soon  he  found  himself 
hotly  pursued  by  one  of  the  enemy,  and  likely  to  be 
overtaken  ;  whereupon  he  turned  upon  his  pursuer, 
and,  being  an  athletic  man,  seized  the  Indian,  threw 


88  HISTORY  OP  WARREN  COUNTY. 

him  and  bound  him  hand  and  foot  with  his  garters, 
while  he  went  on  his  way  and  procured  the  desired 
assistance.  Mr.  Depue,  in  Wulpaok,  also  had  a  nar- 
row escape  trom  the  tomahawk  and  scalping  knife. 
A  party  of  Indians  broke  into  his  house  at  midnight, 
with  murderous  intent,  and  he,  being  aroused  from 
slumber,  seized  his  loaded  gun  and  aimed  it  at  the  fore- 
most aggressor,  who,  realizing  his  danger,  uttered  the 
peculiar  Indian  Ugh  I  dodged  away  and  lied.  So  acted 
the  next,  and  another,  and  another  ;  and  thus  with- 
out firing  his  gun,  he  succeeded  in  driving  the  whole 
gang  from  his  dwelling." 

Y^'ielding  to  petitions  that  were  sent,  the  General 
Assembly  on  June  8d,  1757,  "enacted  that  one  hun- 
dred and  twenty  men  be  immediately  raised  with  the 
proper  number  of  officers  ;  that  Jonathan  Hampton 
be  aj^pointed  paymaster  and  victualer  for  the  compa- 
ny and  thaf  he  provide  and  allow  each  officer  and 
soldier  the  following  provisions  every  week,  viz  : 
seven  pounds  of  bread,  seven  i)ounds  of  beef,  or  in 
lieu  thereof,  four  pounds  of  pork,  six  ounces  of  but- 
ter, three  pints  of  peas,  and  half  a  pound  of  rice." 

A  year  after  this,  1758,  when  everything  was  sup  ■ 
posed  to  be  quiet,  Nicholas  Cole  and  family  of  Wal- 
])ack  were  attacked  and  the  most  of  them  murdered. 
Those  who  were  noi;  murdered  were  (;arried  away  into 
captivity.  Otlier  murders  followed.  The  i)eople 
again  petitioned  for  i)rotection  and  the  General  As- 
sembly ordered  another  levy  of  one  hundred  and  fifty 
men.  It  was  ordered,  however,  that  none,  except 
otiicers,  be  taken  from  the  militia  of  Sussex  as  they 
might  -Ije  needed  at  any  time  in  case  of  a  fornddable 
attack.  Twenty  guides,  who  were  well  acquainted 
with  the  country  were  to  be  hired  by  the  commanding 
oflic.T  to  conduct  the   troops   through   the  woods  of 


HISTORY  OF  WARREN  COUNTY.  89 

Sussex.  It  was  further  provided  "  that  inasinucli  as 
the  Indians  are  a  very  private  and  secret  enemy,  and 
as  it  has  been  thought  dogs  would  be  of  great  service 
in  discovering  them  in  their  secret  retreats  among  the 
swamps,  rocks  and  mountains,  frequent  in  those 
parts  ;  therefore  be  it  enacted,  etc.,  that  it  shall  and 
may  be  lawful  for  the  i)aymaster  aforesaid  to  procure 
upon  the  best  terms  he  can  fifty  good,  large,  strong 
and  tierce  dogs  ;  and  the  same  so  procured  to  be  sup- 
plied with  food  necessary  to  their  subsistence,  equal 
to  ten  men' s  allowance  in  quantity  ;  which  said  dogs 
shall  be  disciplined  for  and  employed  in  the  service, 
in  such  manner  as  the  said  Major,  in  conjunction  with 
the  Commission  officers,  or  the  major  part  of  them 
shall  think  proper.'

them.  However,  for  that  night  they  encamped  upon  the  river 
about  six  miles  from  Cole's  Fort,  and  in  the  morning  they 
scouted  back  from  the  river  about  four  miles  ;  at  last  they

was  steering,  and  when  they  came  to  the  bank  of  the  Dela- 
ware, they  heard  Bome  Indians  chopping  on  a  small  island  in 
the  river,  and  paw  ten  of  them  making  a  raft  in  order  to  cross 
the  i-iver.  Vantile  and  his  men  watched  them  very  strictly 
the  whole  night.  In  the  morning,  early,  the  Indians  packed 
up  their  clothes  and  other  thintrs  and  waded  the  river,  draw- 
ing their  raft  after  them.  Vantile,  perceiving  hy  their  course 
ihat  they  would  land  higher  tip  than  where  he  and  his  men 
were  posted,  crept  privately  up  the  river  until  they  came 
Avithin  one  hundred  yards  of  them,  when  they  saw  a  smoke 
xipon  the  shore  and  an  Indian  rise  up,  who  came  towards  the 
soldiers,  but  he  soon  returned  to  the  tire  and  took  up  his  gun ; 
oipon  which  about  tifteen  Indians  rose  up  and  took  hold  of 
their  guns.  The  sergeant  then  ordered  his  men  to  fire  upon 
them,  and  the  Indians  returned  their  tire  and  advanced  ;  the 
aforesaid  ten  Indians  who  were  coniing  from  the  island  also 
fired  very  briskly.  The  sergeant  and  his  men  sustained  the 
attack  with  great  courage,  and  after  fi,ghting  six  rounds  and 
boldly  advancing  towards  the  enemy  the  Indians  fied  in  great 
confusion,  leaving  behind  them  four  guns,  four  tomaliawks, 
three  pikes,  tifteen  pairs  of  maccains,  fifteen  pairs  of  stock- 
ings, and  other  sundry  things.  These  are  supposed  to  be  the 
same  Indians  who  had  attacked  Uriah  Westfall's  and  Abraham 
Cortwright's  houses." 

"  His  Excellency,  Governor  Bernard,  hath  sent  up  orders 
to  the  officers  upon  the  frontiers  to  restrain  the  soldiers  from 
leaving  their  quarters  and  straggling  into  the  woods  to  shoot 
and  hunt  as  the  same  is  certainly  a  dangerous  and  pernicious 
practice  ;  for  on  Friday  last  Wm.  Ward  was  shot  and  scalped, 
ae  he  was  hunting  within  a  half-mile  of  No.  3,  in  the  county  of 
Sussex  ;  and  the  same  day  about  noon  a  house  was  burned 
on  the  opposite  side  of  the  river.  The  Indians  shouted  and 
fired  several  guns  while  it  was  burning. 

"  Some  days  since  a  man  and  a  boy,  traveling  along  the 
public  highway  in  the  said  county  of  Sussex,  were  attacked 
by  the  Indians.       The   man  was    shot   dead ;    the    boy  was 


HISTORY  OF  WARREN  COUNTY.  91 

.surprised,  but,  tinding  one  of  tlie  ludiaus  in  pursuit  of 
him,  he  had  presence  of  mind,  as  the  last  refuge,  to  turn 
and  lire  upon  hiui  and  saw  him  drop.  The  other  Indian 
still  pursued,  and  the  boy  perceiving  his  gun  so  retarded 
his  ilight  that  he  must  be  taken,  broke  it  to  pieces  against 
a*rock,  that  it  might  not  fall  into  the  enemy's  hands,  and 
maae  his  escape  from  them.  He  then  alarmed  the  people, 
who  immediately  went  out  upon  the  scout  wdth  guns  and 
dogs,  and,  coming  to  the  place  where  the  boy  shot  the 
Indian,  found  a  great  deal  of  blood,  but  not  the  body. 
They  searched  very  diligently  about  the  woods,  when  at 
last  one  of  the  dogs  began  barking ;  and,  going  to  see  what 
was  the  matter,  they  found  him  barking  at  a  bunch  of 
brush,  and  turning  it  aside  they  found  the  Indian  buried 
with  his  clothes  and  tomahawk,  upon  which  they  scalped 
him  and  brought  away  the  things  they  found  buried  with 
him.  On  Tuesday,  the  16th  of  June,  Justice  Decker,  of 
the  county  of  Sussex,  brought  the  said  Indian  scalp  and 
tomahawk  to  Perth  Amboy.  This  savage  proved  to  be  the 
notorious  bloody  villain  well-known  by  the  name  of  Capt. 
Armstrong,  a  noted  ring-leader  of  the  Delaware s,  who,  with 
other  Indians,  was  concerned  with  Benjamin  Springer 
(lately  executed  in  Morris  county)  in  the  murder  of  An- 
thony Swartwout,  his  wife  and  children." 

There  were  a  number  of  attempts  made  to  treat 
with  the  Indians  and  establish  peace.  In  1756  a  com- 
mittee was  ap];)ointed  by  the  Legislature  to  treat  with 
them.  They  met  the  Indians  at  Crosswicks  during 
the  winter,  heard  their  grievances  and  reported  to  the 
Legislature  which  passed  acts  to  relieve  them. 

Another  conference  was  held  at  Burlington  Aug. 
7,  1758.  This  was  brought  about  through  the  diplo- 
macy of  the  noted  chief  Teedyuscung,  king  of  the 
Delawares.  Nothing  came  of  it,  however,  except  the 
underst^anding  to  meet  again  at  Easton,  the  place  of 


f)2  HISTORY  OF  WARREN  COUNTY. 

the  "Old  Council'"  as  the  Indians  termed  it. 
council  was  heid  Oct.  8,  1758.  The  result  of  it  was 
that  the  Indians  released  all  the  lands  claimed  by 
them  witliin  the  limits  of  New  Jersey  for  the  sum  of 
one  thousand  pounds. 

Deeds  were  also  obtained,   and  it  was  declared 
"  that  by  these  two  agreements  the  province  of  New 
Jersey  is  entirely  freed  and  discharged  from  all  Indian 
claims." 


WARREN  #  SUSSEX  IN  THE  REVOLUTION. 

ARREN  county  was  a  part  of  Sussex  during 
the  Revolution,  hence  our  history  of  those 
times  ^\i]l  cover  the  territory  of  both. 
These  counties  were  much  exposed  to  the  savage 
allies  of  the  British  during  the  struggle  for  indepen- 
dence, owing  to  their  frontier  situation  along  the 
Delaware. 

Many  were  the  battles  with  the  Indians  that 
these  people  had  been  compelled  to  hght  during  col- 
onial times,  and  consequently  here  were  a  people 
whose  experience  had  made  them  familiar  with  mili- 
tary discipline  and  the  use  of  arms.  Moreover  they 
were  a  people  who  had  inherited  a  love  of  liberty  and 
were  somewhat  trained  in  the  x>i'iii('il>lf^'^  <'f  self-gov- 
ernment. They  were  intelligent  and  patriotic  and  had 
among  them  men  capable  of  tilling  almost  any  posi- 
tion in  life  and  taking  the  lead  in  any  emergency. 
The  two  counties  then  numbered  about  thirteen  thou- 
sand. A  series  of  resolutions  adopted  at  a  meeting 
of  a  number  of  Freeholders  and  inhabitants  of  the 
county  of  Sussex,  A,  D.  1774  declared  "That  it  is  our 
duty  to  render  true  and  faithful  allegiance  to  George 
the  Third,  King  of  Great  Britain,  but,  that  it  is  un- 
doubtedly our  right  to  be  taxed  only   by  our  own

consent   given   by   ourselves   or   our  Representatives 
etc.""     At  a   meeting  held  in   New    Brunswick,    July 
23,  1774,  a  commission  of  fourteen  persons  was  chosen 
to  represent  New  -Jersey  in  the  General  Congress  that 
convened  at  Philadelphia,  Sept.  5,  1774.     At  this  time 
a  separation  from  the  mother   country  was  not  con- 
temx)lated,   although  the  people  were  determined   to 
secure  their  just  rights  as  British  subjects.     They  had 
no  desire  to  provoke  a  war  but  tried  to  settle  the  con- 
troversies amicably.     It  was   not  till  blood   was  spilt 
at  Concord  and  Lexington  that  the  people  were  con- 
vinced that  all  attempts  at  reconciliation  were  useless. 
This   was  "the   straw  that   broke  the  camel's  back" 
and  cemented  the  people  in  one  grand  and  united  pur- 
pose  to   declare   and   maintain   their    freedom.     The 
people  were  aroused,   "The  fathers  of  Sussex  county 
showed  'an  eye  to   the  main  chance'  in   petitions  to 
restrain  shopmen  from  raising  the  price  of  their  goods. 
In  fact  the  whole  province  was  in  a  ferment ;   Tories 
were  called  to  repentance,  strollers,  vagabonds,  horse- 
thieves,  and  otlie]'  nuisances   were  summarily  abated; 
the  freemen  of  the  State  gathered   around  the  altar  of 
Liberty,  and  'i)l  edged  their  lives,  their  fortunes  and 
their  sacred  honor'  to  the  defense   and   triumj^h  of 
poX^ular  rights.     They  h.irdly  knew  what  was  to  come 
of  it  ;  but,  having  put  their  hand  to  the  plow  they  did 
not  look  back.'" 

Committees  of  safety  were  organized  in  all  the 
townships  of  Sussex  county,  and  representatives  from 
the  township  committees,  formed  the  county  com- 
mittee of  safety,  which  met  at  the  Court  House  at 
Newton  (mce  a  month.  "This  committee  exercised  a 
general  supervision  over  tiip  township  organizations, , 
provided  means  for  promoting  the  popular  cause,  and 
procured  the  oath  ol'  abjuration  to  be  administered  to 


HISTORY  OF  WAREEN  COU^ITY.  95 

every  citizen  of  the  county,  carefully  notin^r  down 
the  names  of  thos^-  who  refused,  with  the  grounds 
upon  which  they  l>ased  such  refusal,  and  causing  the 
recusants  to  lie  presented  by  the  grand  inquest  of  the 
county,  to  the  end  that  they  might  appear  in  court 
and  ()[)enly  recant,  or  give  bonds  for  their  peaceable 
behavior.  The  niinutes  of  the  sittings  of  this  im- 
portant committee  were  carefully  written  out  for  the 
information  of  subordinate  committees,  and.  with  a 
little  care  might  have  been  preserved."  At  one  of 
these  meetings  ''returns  were  called  for  from  the  sev- 
eral townships  of  the  names  of  those  who  refused  to 
sign  the  articles  of  association  for  the  respective  town- 
ships. In  (^reenwich  seven  person-^j  Avere  returned  as' 
having  refused  to  sign,  four  of  whom  were  Quakers, 
who  declared  it  to  be  against  their  conscience  to  take 
up  arms  ;  one  gave  no  reason  and  the  remaining  two 
would  'take  time  to  consider.'.  Prom  Mansfield  two 
names  were  returned,  but  no  ^  reason  for  refusal  as- 
signed. In  Sandystown  all  signed  except  two  '  who 
are  willing  to  do  so  when  opportunity  offers.'  In 
Montague  every  citizen  signed  and  in  Wantage  all 
agreed  except  Joseph  Havens  and  one  or  two  more 
Quakers,  '  who  are  Whigs  and  are  willing  to  con- 
tribute.' The  other  towns,  says  the  record  not  having 
had  the  association  particularly  carried  to  the  inhabi- 
tants, ordered  that  the  committee  of  said  towns  wait 
upon  the  people  and  make  return  at  the  next  meeting 
of  the  committee." 

"What  report  was  made  from  'the  other  towns* 
is  not  known,  but  may  be  inferred  from  the  returns 
just  given.  These  items  afford  us  an  insight  into  the 
^state  of  feeling  which  pervaded  the  county  at  that 
early  stage  of  the  conflict,  and  conclusively  refute  the 
gross   imputations  which  have   been  recklessly  and

maliciously  cast  upon  the  patriotism  of  our  Revolu- 
tionary citizens. 

"At  this  meeting  means  were  taken  to  raise  by 
tax  the  county's  quota  of  ten  thousand  i)Ounds 
ordered  by  the  Provincial  Congress  of  New  Jersey  for 
th'-'  purpose  of  raising  money  to  i)urehase  arms  and 
auiiiiuniiion,  and  for  other  exigencies  of  the  province. 
Casper  Shai'er  was  appointed  collector  of  the  county, 
to  take  charge  of  the  funds  to  be  raised  under  the  au- 
thority of  the  Committee  of  Safety.  It  was  also  or- 
dered "that  the  captains  of  the  respective  companies 
of  ndlitia  send  an  account  to  the  next  meeting  of  the 
comudttee  of  all  jDersons  upwards  of  sixteen  and  under 
lifty  years  old  in  their  several  districts  who  refuse  to 
sign  the  muster  roll,  that  their  names  may  be  for- 
warded to  the  Pi'ovincial  Congress.' 

''Captain  John  McMurtry  and  Lieut.  William 
White,  <d'  Oxford  township,  being  desirous  to  go  to 
Boston,  where  the  Anrericans  were  rallying  under  the 
standard  of  Waslnngton,  then  just  api^ointed  Com- 
mander-in-Chief of  the  Continental  forces,  requested 
the  committee  to  certify  as  to  their  'i)lace  of  abode, 
character  and  reputation."  which  was  at  once  com- 
plied with. 

"On  motion,  it  was  'Resolved,  mem.  con..  That 
any  person  thinking  himself  aggrieved  by  any  mer- 
chant i)\  trader  in  this  county  taking  an  exorbitant 
price  for  any  article  of  goods  make  apx)lication  to  the 
chairman  of  the  town  committee  where  such  merchant 
or  trader  resides,  who  is  to  call  a  meeting  of  said  com- 
nnttee  as  soon  as  convenient  thereafter,  which  said 
meeting  is  to  consist  of  live  members  at  least.  And 
the  said  ••omnnttee,  when  convened,  shall  notify  the" 
said  merchant  or  trader  to  appear  and  show  why  he 
has  taken  so  great  a  price  ;  and  if  it  shall  appear  that 


HISTORY  OF  WAKKEN  COUNTY.  97 

he  has  taken  an  unreasonable  profit,  or  shall  refuse  to 
attend  or  give  any  satisfaction  in  the  premises,  that 
he  be  cited  by  the  said  committee  to  appear  at  the 
next  meeting  of  the  county  committee,  there  to  be 
dealt  with  according  to  the  rules  of  the  Continental 
Congress.' 

"A  memorial  on  this  subject  was  also  drawn  up 
and  ordered  to  be  presented  to  the  Continental  Con- 
gress, praying  that  the  latter  body  would  make  in- 
quiry and  ascertain  if  the  Philadelphia  and  New  Y'ork 
merchants  of  whom  the  traders  in  this  county  pur- 
chased their  goods  were  not  at  the  bottom  of  the  sys- 
tem of  corruption,  speculating  upon  the  public  neces- 
sity by  affixing  exorbitant  prices  upon  their  mer- 
chandir^e." 

According  to  reports  the  above  restrictions  were 
loudly  called  for  as  fifty  bushels  of  wheat  were  re- 
quired to  get  one  bushel  of  salt ;  calico  cost  fifteen 
shillings  a  yard,  while  rye  sold  for  one  shilling  eight 
pence  per  bushel.  "Only  one  pair  of  shoes  a  year 
could  be  ]»urchased,  which  were  generally  bought 
about  Christmas  time,  and  which  the  fair  owners 
carefully  preserved  from  dilapidation  through  the 
summer  by  going  barefoot,  like  the  enchanting  god- 
desses that  figure  in  ancient  mythology.'' 

The  Provincial  Congress  changed  the  government 
of  New  Jersey  from  the  colonial  to  a  constitutional 
government,  or  State,  on  June  21st,  1776.  Ten  men 
were  appointed  to  draw  up  a  draft  of  a  constitution 
for  the  State  of  which  committee,  Rev.  Jacob  Green 
of  Morris  county  was  chairman.  That  eminent  law- 
yer, Jonathan  Dickinson,  and  Ur.  John  Withersj^oon, 
president  of  Princeton  College,  were  members  of  this 
committee.  The  draft  was  submitted  and  adopted  as 
the  first,constitution  of  New  Jersey. 


98  HISTORY  OF  WARREN  COUNTY.  " 

The  country  of  the  Minisinks  which  had  suffered^ 
severely  through  the  French  and  Indian  war  did  not^ 
have  any  better  fortune  during  the  Revolution.  All 
the  hoiTors  of  an  Indian  warfare  were  expeiienced  by 
the  settlers  in  this  region.  The  Indians  were  incited 
by  the  British  to  acts  of  horrible  bi-utality.  Brant, 
the  noted  Mohawk  chief,  was  the  bravest  and  most 
ferocious  leader  among  these  savage  allies  of  the 
British. 

Sussex  county  enjoys  the  distinction  of  furnish- 
ing Congress  with  cannon-balls  and  steel  dnring  their 
struggle  for  indej)endence. 

The  old  iron-works  at  Andover  had  been  erected 
by  an  English  company.  The  company  were  pro- 
tected by  the  army  at  Fhilad^Jphia  down  to  the  be- 
ginning of  1778,  when  it  changed  hands  and  was  run 
by  Americans. 

"Passing  frcmi  the  control  of  tliose  who  had  no 
interest  in  the  American  cause^  and  who  had  probably 
used  them  in  aid  of  enemies  of  the  country,  they  came 
into  the  hands  of  men  whose  fervid  patriotism  was 
fitly  symbolized  in  the  glow  of  their  rekindled  fires." 
The  Andover  works  continued  until  the  end  of  the 
war  to  furnish  supplies  to  the  Continental  army.  The 
remainder  of  the  history  of  Sussex  during  the  Revolu- 
tion we  are  compelled  for  want  of  sj^ace  to  pass  over. 
Suffice  it  to  say  that  she  fully  sustained  her  reputa- 
tion ;  and  in  the  display  when  necessary  of  truly 
heroic  qualities  her  eons  were  not  exceeded  by  any  in. 
the  land.

/  T  is  not  possible  for  us  to  recall  the  events  of 
^  IS'^l  with  the  same  vividness  and  reality  with 
which  the  stirring  scenes  of  the  first  year  of 
the  war  then  struck  the  public  mind.  Only  those  who 
particii^ated  in  them  can  fully  ajipreciate  those  times. 
The  present  generation  can  only  know  of  them  by  the 
light  of  tradition  and  history.  The  "great  uprising" 
of  popular  feeling  and  patriotism  that  was  occasioned 
by  the  tiring  on  Fort  Sumpter  penetrated  into  every 
State,  county,  village  and  hamlet,  awakening  the  peo- 
ple to  a  realization  of  the  crisis  that  was  upon  them. 
The  country  had  been  pausing  in  anxious  suspense  to 
see  what  result  would  follow  the  secession  of  South 
Carolina  and  what  she  Avould  do  with  the  garrison  of 
Fort  Sumpter  and  the  flag  that  so  proudly  waved 
above  her  walls 

The  moment  that  flag  was  struck  the  i)ause  was 
at  an  end  and  the  shock  of  the  bitter  struggle  that 
followed  thrilled  the  whole  land.  The  President 
-called  for  troo2)s  and  immediately  flags  were  hoisted 
and  recruiting  stations  established  in  every  town  and 
school  district  in  the  North.  Business  was  suspended 
ior  the  time  and  men  marched  along  with  patriotic 
feeling  to  the  sound  of  the  flfe  and  dnim.     The  North

aAvoke  to  the  necessity  of  the  occasion  and  responded 
with  alacrity  to  the  call  of  the  President  for  the  men 
and  means  with  which  to  decide  the  question  of  union 
or  s«^cession. 

"New  Jersey  was  not  behind  the  other  States  of 
the  North  in  responding  to  the  call.  Governor  Olden, 
her  ex^'cutive,  was  patriotic  and  energetic.  He  was 
greatly  assiste-d  in  the  selection  of  officers  l)y  a  board 
of  examiners  comi)osed  of  Adjt.-Gen.  Stockton,  Lieut. 
T.  A.  Torbert,  and  Gen.  William  Cook.  Lieut.  Tor- 
bert  was  at  an  early  day  assigned  for  duty  at  Trenton 
and  rendered  most  important  service  in  organizing  the 
first  New  Jersey  regiments  for  the  field." 

Sussex  and  Warren  began  in  season  to  send  for- 
ward tlieir  quota  of  troops.  Four  }'egiments  were 
called  for  from  the  State  and  tw^enty-four  of  the  prin- 
cipal banks  pledged  Governor  Olden  four  hundred 
and  fifty- one  thousand  dollars.  Sussex  Bank,  at 
Newton.  subscriV)ed  twenty  thousand  and  the  Farm- 
ers' Bank  of  Wantage  ten  thousand.  Not  a  week  had 
passed  after  Piesident  Lincoln's  first  call  for  troops 
before  Judson  Kil}»atrick — then  unknow^n  to  fame 
and  a  cadet  lieutenant  in  the  United  States  Military 
Academy  at  West  Point  —  had  offered  his  services  to 
Governor  Olden  and  begged  to  be  allowed  the  privi- 
lege of  shaiing  with  the  soldiers  of  the  State  the 
dangers  and  lionois  of  ihe  field.  All  through  the  war 
the  counties  of  Sussex  and  Warren  patriotically  bore 
their  share  of  the  burden  in  the  great  struggle  for  the 
supremacy  of  our  laws  and  the  Union.  Her  sons  vol-

and  iilty  irivaTes,  but  when  the  company  was  taken 
to  Belvidere  the  next  day  the  State  authorities  were 
not  ready  to  muster  tlieni  into  service.  About  a 
month  after  this,  May  18th,  a  poition  of  this  comj^any 
with  other  recruits  went  into  the  Third  Regiment, 
then  mustered  into  the  United  States  service  for  three 
years.  Capt.  DeWitt  Clinton  Blair,  son  of  John  1. 
Blair,  i-aised  a  company  in  Warren  county  and  Ca^^t. 
James  G.  Fitts  one  in  Sussex.  Capt.  Blair  presented 
his  company  at  Trenton,  but  no  further  call  lieing 
made  for  more  troops,  they  returned  home ;  after- 
waids,  however,  nearly  every  man  enlisted.  Captain 
Blair  went  out  in  the  Twenty-second  New  York  In- 
fantry as  a  private  and  served  the  time  of  his  com- 
mand. Capt.  Fitts'  company  was  not  mustered  jnit 
became  Co.  D.  of  the  Third  Regiment.  There  were 
some  militia  organizations  which  wei-e  a  little  in  ad-

former  course.  If  the  river  continued  on  in  this  di- 
recton,  it  would  strike  across  the  country  from 
^laniinka  Chunk  to  Changewater  in  the  line  of  the 
Delaw^are,  Lackawanna  &  Western  Railroad  ;  but  the 
river  makes  a  bend  westward  again  and  then  east- 
ward, forming  the  i)oint  above  Belvidere,  whence  it 
proceeds  in  a  southwesterly  course  past  the  western 
point  of  Harmony  township,  and  then  runs  in  a 
.southerly  zig-zag  course  to  the  great  bend  at  Holland, 
in  Hunterdon  county.  The  Musconetcong  valley  on 
the  opposite  side  of  the  county  is  much  more  uniform, 
that  stream  flowing  in  a  curve  which  varies  not  more 
than  two  miles  from  a  direct  line,  from  one  extremity 
of  the  county  to  the  other.  The  extreme  length  of 
the  county  from  the  Sussex  line  near  Waterloo  to 
Musconetcong  Station  is  about  thirty  miles,  and  as 
near  as  can  be  measured  on  the  map  its  supeihcial 
area  is  three  hundred  and  seventy  square  miles.'' 

The  principal  ranges  of  mountains  in  Warren 
County  are  the  Kittatinny,  or  Blue  Mountains  in  the 
iiorthw^estern  part,  the  Jenny  Jump  in  tlie  central 
part,  Scott's  Mountains  between  Harmony  and  Ox- 
ford townships  and  the  Pohatcong  n;ountains  in  the 
southwest.  The  principal  streams  are  the  Paulinskill 
and  its  tributaries,   Beaver   Brook,  Request,  Pohat- 


cong and  Musconetcong. 


AVarren  county  was  oi'iginally  part  of  West  Jer-

was  erected  in  171H-14  and  remained  a  part  of  it  till 
Morris  was  set  off  in  1738-89.  It  w^as  a  i)art  of  the 
territory  of  Sussex  county  when  that  county  was 
erected  in  1753  and  so  remained  till  the  Legislative 
enactment  of  November  20,  18-24,  made  a  separate

TEE   BIKTK    OF    AGRICULTURE. 

When  Gou  said,  "  In  The  sweat  of  t)»y  face  shalt  tnou  eat  bread,"  the 
b'rth  of  Agiicr.lture  was  foietolii.  Almost  contemporaneous  with 
man's  birth  w;.s  that  of  the  oldest  and  most  important  of  the  arts,  Ag 
riculture.  This  is  the  only  art  conTe.v.poranPf)us  with  man,  and  was 
the  rirst  if  not  the  only  one  foretold  by  the  Creator.  Agriculture  is 
spoken  uf  as  tlie  "  Mother  of  <  ivilization,"  and  truly  sucli  she  is  :  but 
not  such  alone. ,  She  may  quite  as  at)propriately  be  called  the  "  Mother 
of  all  the  Arts  and  Sciences,"  and  hence,  the  "  mother  of  all  that  en- 
gages and  enriches  iht^  entire  human  family  to-day."  As  such  the  far- 
mer may  well  be  proud  ot  his  occup  tion,  though  many  a  thoughtless 
opinion  would  hint  to  the  contrary.  It  is  difficult  to  lell  just  when  Ag- 
riculture as  an  art  began  to  assume  the  mie  .  of  importance.  The  earli- 
est successful  farming  of  which  we  have  any  record  was  carried  on  in 
the  valleys  of  the  riveis  supposed  to  water  the  Garden  of  Eden  The 
primitive  farmers  dwelt  along  the  banks  of  the  Euphrates,  the  Tigris 
and  the  Nile.  The  old  Bible  patriarchs  were  farmers.  Among  these 
were  Noah,  the  owner  of  vineyards;  Abraham,  and  Lot  who  had  in 
their  possession  large  herds  of  cattle  and  sheep.  Jacob  was  ihe  first  to

the  tir.sl  to  comprehend  in  any  imi)orlanl  degree  the  pracUcal  value  of 
manures.  Much  of  their  land  was  poor,  and  had  lo  be  reclaimed  from 
sand-lianks.  morasses,  and  swamps.  This  led  them  lo  the  practice  of  a 
careful  cultivation.  They  ploughed  the  ground  over  three  times  with 
their  oxen  and  mules,  and  fre<picnlly  suhsoiled  before  planting.  They 
rai.scil  fruit  in  abundance.  Their  knowledge  of  agxii-nUure  and  agricul- 
tural literature  was  of  a  very  practical  nature  and  comparatively  exten- 
.sjvfc  for  tlieir  day.  Among  the  Romans  agriculture  was  highly  appre- 
cialfd  and  held  as  a  most  fundamental  idea.  The  Roman  Slate  pro- 
vided each  cili/cn  with  a  faiin  (or  (garden  spot  as  we  would  term  it)  of 
seven  Hci"e.s  (cviual  Ic  about  six  of  ouis).  lo  which  he  was  rigiiily  re- 
stricted. Any  !i  .man,  dissatisfied  with  hi'^  tract  was  considered  a  bad 
citizen  and  a  dangerous  man.  After  Rome,  by  means  of  conquest,  liad 
cxtfiidetl  her  ilmninion,  as  much  as  fifty  acres  were  sometimes  allotted, 
and  the  highest  e.xpression  i>t  cununendalion  that  could  '>e  given  a  man 
was  to  ^ay  I'f  him,  "  He  ha-  well  cullivaled  hi^  spot  of  ground."  A  cit-

about  M  q.Kivter  of  an  acre  a  day.     That  agriculture  is  the  foundation  of 
all  prosperous  nations  is   abundantly  attested  by  lii.story.      During  the 
golden  age  of  agricultuic,  when  the  first  men  of  Rome  themselves  held 
the  plough,  the    empire  flourished   and  became  the  mightiest  on  the 
globe;  but  ■vNhen  lier   agricultuial    interests  passed  out  ofthe  hands  of 
her  nobility  into  the  hands  of  menials,  and  the  nation  came  to  rely  on  the 
jproductions  of  conquered  provinces,  the  zenith  of  her  glory  was  passed 
and  her  decline  vft  s  begun.     Vast  hordes  swept  down  upon  her  from  the 
North,  and  the  onco  mighty  empire  fell  to  rise  no  more.     So  has  it  been 
in   the  history    of    every  nation.     When  a  nation  prides  itself  in  its 
agricultural   interests,  then  that  nation   grows    and  prospers.     When 
agriculture  is  neglected  the  nation  becomes    weak  afld  helpless.     The 
science  of  drainage  was  first  intj-oduced  by  Sparta  ;  an  extensive  system 
of  irrigation  and  practical  farming  was  the  basis  of  the  glory  of  Spain, 
China,  India  and  Babylonia,  derived  sustenance  fioin  systems  of  minute 
divisions  and  thorough  cultivation  of  lands.     The  first  important  steps  in 
modern  scientific   agriculture   were  taken  in   the  eighteenth   centuryt 
New  methods  of  culture,  new  practices,  new  modes  ot  fertilizing,  new 
forms  and  great  improvements  in  machinery  became  universal ;  chemis- 
try,  geology  and  botany  began  to  illuminate  the  field  of   the  farmer. 
Chemistry, 'especially,  began  to  enlighten  tbe  farmers'  intcliigence  and 
scatter  his  prejudice,  leading  him  to  see  tliat  scientific  knowledge  is  a 
valuable  acquisition  at  least,  if  not  an   indispensable  requisite  for  the 
successful   agriculturist.      Scientific  agriculture  has    made  marvelous 
strides  of  development  in  tliis  country,  and  hence  it  will  be  a  matter  of 
interest  and  profit  to  trace  briefly 

THE  HieXORY  OF   FARMING  tN  AMERICA. 

The  early  settlers  on  our  shores  had  to  begin  life  anew  in  the  midst  of 
untold  hardships,  privations,  and  dangers.  Whether  m  Virginia,  New 
England,  New  York  State,  or  Maryland,  they  found  themselves  under  a 
climate  and  surrounded  by  conditions  altogether  strange  to  them. 
Everywhere  they  were  environed  by  a  wilderness  infested  by  wild  beasts 
and  savage  men,  rearty  to  prey  on  their  cattle,  destroy'  their  crops,  and 
constantly  threatening  their  own  lives  and  thoseof  their  f  am  lie-.  When 
we  add  to  this  iliat  a  majority  of  the  first  colonists  were  nf)t  nnly  un- 
skilled in  agriculture,  but  unused  to  labor  of  ajiy  kind,  ii  netu  not  sin- 
prise  us  that  the  y)rogres^  ihey  made  was  slow,  but  rath»-r  we  wt.ndn 
that  they  maintained  themselves  at  all  in  the  midst  of  ^uch  liittniiiiic.-^ 
and  dangers.

Tliese  were  tbilow  ed  by  others  in  102(i  and  1(5x1!).  while  in  1688  we  tind 
100  head  landed  for  the  Governor  and  Company  of  Massachusetts  Bay. 
In  the  mean  lime,  the  Dutch  West  India  Company  had  imported  into  New 
York  S«tate  108  laltle  and  horses  from  the  island  of  Texel,  Holland.  In 
Ki'iT  the  settlements  along  the  Delaware  were  sui)i)lied  by  the  Swedish

Sucli.  then,  were  the  sources  of  our  "native"  or  c  mhion  breed  of 
cattle.  It  iniist  be  observed  that  in  tlio.se  old  day.-,  the  stock  of  the 
mother  couiUiy  was  nolimpriived  to  its  present  high  condition.  Even  .so 
late  asin  iIk-  beginningof  last  century  the  averag"-  dressed  weiglit'of  neat

of  sheep,  28  pounils,  whereas  now  these  weights  are  over  yOU  pounds  and 
bO  pounds  respectively.  Then  the  colonists  had  not  the  means  of  keeping 
stock  so  as  to  obviate  deterioration.  They  had  no  notion  of  raising  grass 
and  hay  by  artificial  means,  but  relied  on  natural  meadofws,  and  the 
grasses  in  the  salt-niaishes  along  the  shores.  lOven  so  late  as  1750  grain 
and  forHge  for  stock  had  to  be  imported  lron\  I'lnalaiul  to  keep  man  and 
beast  from  starving.  (Jlover.  a  contemporary,  gives  us  the  tbllowing 
glimpse  of  the  mode  of  keeping  cattle  in  Virginia  :  "  All  the  inhabitants 
irive  tlieir  cattli-  ill  winter  is  only  the  husks  of  tJieir  Indian  corn,  unless 
it  be  soini  of  tlUfin  that,  have  a  little  wheal  ^traw  ;  iieiliier  do  they  give 
Ihcm  any  more  of  these  than  will  keep  them  alive."  C'laylon,  another 
coniemporary,  says  :  "They  neither  housed  nor  nulked  theii'  co>vs  ipL

atliird.  Their  cattle  are  allowed  to  wander  'lirou^h  the  woods  and  unou';:- 
vated  grounds,  where  they  are  half  starved,  having  long  ago  extirpated 
all  tiie  annu-d  grasses  by  cropping  iheni  too  early  in  the  spring,  before 
they  had  time  t<>  form  their  flowers  or  ^hed  seeds."  That  tlie  o.x  of  these 
days  was  small  and  ill-shaped  no  one  vs  ho  knows  anything  of  stock-rearing 
needs  to  be  t(fld,  and  the  effects  of  snch  treatment  are  fnll  of  snggestiou 
to  any  one  who  wishes  to  rear  a  thrif  y  and  profitaldi-  herd  of  cattie. 
But  bad  management  reacts  in  various  ways.  N'oi  only  did  the  cattle, 
originall.v  poor,  degenerate  under  it.  not  'uiiy  were  the  jiasiun's  ruini'd, 
but  the  proper  cultivation  of  tlie  farm  was  impossible.  Every  farmer 
knows  that  if  the  manure  is  allowed  to  go  to  waste,  if  wli;it  has  })een 
taken  from  the  soil  is  not  carefully  and  systematically  restored  to  it  the 
farm  is  being  run  down  and  e.xliausted.  The  fatal  results  ot  this  old  style 
of  farming  is  being  relt  in  N'iririnia  to  this  day.  where,  such  is  the  force  of 
custom,  some  occu|iier.s  of  land — we  can  scarce  call  them  farmers — to 
this  day  leave  their  cows  out  in  tin-  pines  duiing  winter,  sacriticiug  thus 
both  the  animal  and  the  means  of  enriching  their  tields.  '•  Previous  to 
our  Kevolutionary  War,"' says  the  Hon  James  31.  Garrett,  speaking  in 
-1S4"2,  '■  no  attempts  were  made  to  collect  manure  tor  general  purpo.-,e.s 
aU  that  was  deemed  needful  being  saved  for  the  gardens  and  tobacco' 
'Jots  by  sunvmer  cow-pens.  These  were  filled  with  cattle  such  as  our 
modern  breeders  would  hardly  recognize  as  belonging  to  the  bovine 
spories.  In  those  days  they  were  so  utterly  neglected  that  it  was  quite 
common  for  the  nudtitudes  starved  to  death  every  winter  to  supply 
hides  enough  for  shoeing  the  negroes  on  every  farm.  3Iy  own  grand- 
father was  once  very  near  turning  otf  a  good  overseer  because  cattle 
enouiih  nail  not  died  on  the  farm  to  fiu-nish  leather  for  the  ahove  pur- 
pose. When  cattle  were  fattened  for  beef,  almost  the  only  process  was  to 
turn  them  into  the  cornfield  to  feed  themselves.  Sheep  and  hogs  were 
equally  neglected.'" 

Improvement  of  cattle  did  not  set  in  till  after  the  systematic  culture  of 
■aatiual  grasse-.  Even  in  England  there  is  no  evidence  of  such  culture  tdl 
UiTT.  when  perennial  rye-grftss  was  introduced,  and  no  other  variety  was 
liown  till  toward  the  close  of  the  last  century  on  the  introduction  <'f 
timothy  and  orchard-grass.  Red  clover  had  been  introduced  in  W^ii}, 
sainfoin  in  1651,  yellow  clover  in  Ui51».  but  white  or  Dutch  clover  not 
till  17(Jl'.  Even  in  Sccjtland  the  practice  of  sowing  grass-seed  was  not 
known  previous  to  1792.  No  one  can  think  it  strange  that  the  colonists, 
who  had  vastly  greater  hardships  to  encounter,  allowed  their  cattle 
(poor  ai  first)  to  degenerate  [)ersistently.  One  fact  onl}-  in  some  measure 
compel!  ated  tor  this:  from  the  unliiiuted  extent  of  their  brow-iug- 
irronnds  the  stock  continued  ever  increa.-iug  in  numljers,  so  that  by  tlie

anoo  in  the  older  setliements,  thai  by  tliis  lime  were  comparatively  free -• 
from  modeslation,  and  s)iort)y  after  Ilie  Revolution  systematic  effoits  be- 
gun to  be  made  for  improvement  in  quality. 

One  of  the  chief  obstacles  experienced  by  the  colonists  was  the  want  of 
implements.     ^Most  of  their  tools  were  made  at  home  of  wood,  and  were  ■ 
heavy  and  rude  in  construction.     For  the  few  pieces  in  which  iron  was  • 
employed  either  the  metal  was  shaped  on  an  anvil  fixed  up  at  home  or^ 
tlie  aid  of  the  neighboring  blacksmith  was  called  in.     In   1617  some- 
ploughs  were  set  to  work  in  Virginia.     In  that  year  the  governor  com- 
plained that  "  the  colony  did  sutler  for  the  want  of  means  to  set  their 
ploughs  in  work, ,  having  *    *  almost  forty  bulls  and  oxen,  but  they 
wanted  *    *   iron  for  the  ploughs  and  harness  for  the  cattle."    In 
Ma*;sachusetts  Colony  it  was  the  custom  for  some  one  owning  a  ploughs 
to  go  about  and  do  the  ploughing  over  a  considerable  district,  and  a... 
t(;wnship  sometimes  paid  a  bounty  to  some  one  who  would  keep  a  plougb  ; 
in  repair  and  go  about  in  this  way.     The  massive  old  plough   i-equired 
three  men  to  use  it — one  stout  man  to  bear  on,  one  to  hold,  and  a  third!.  ■ 
to  drive.     The  other  tools  wt?ie  a  heavy  spade  or  clumsy  wooden   fork, 
and,  later,  a  harrow     The  ploughs  used  by  the  French  .settleis  upon  the 
''  American  Botton."  in  Illinois  so  late  as  1812  were  made  of  wood,  with 
a  small  point  of  iron  fastened  upon  tlie  wood  by  strips  of  rawhide  am) 
ll)«;    yokes    were    fastened    to    the    horns  of  the  oxen  by  raw -leather 
straj)8.     No  small  plough  was  used  by   them  to  j)lough  corn  till  1815. 
Their  cults  had  not  a  particle    of   iron   about  them.     All  the  ploughs 
were  not  so  primitive,  and  some,    as   the  Carey  plough,  the  barshore 
or  bull  plough,  the    sliovel    plough,  and    the  hog    plough,  had  n  ore 
than  a  local  reputation,  and  were  in  use  down  into  tlie  present  century. 
Of  these  the  Carey  was  the  most  extensively  used,  but  tlie  "  shovel  "  was   - 
iJie  favorite  in  the  Middle  and  Southern  colonies.     In  both  cases  the  par- 
ticular form  varied  much  accordin    to  the  skill  or  taste  of  the  blacksmith 
or  wheelwright  who  made  it.      In  the  Carey  tlie  landside  and  the  stan- 
dard were  made  of  wood,  and  it  had  a  wooden  mould-board,  often  rough- 
ly plated  over  with  pieces  of  old  saw-plate,  tin  or  shect-iron.      It  had 
n  clumsy  wrought-iron  share,  while  the  handles  were  upright,  held  in 
place  by  two  wooden  pins.     It  took  almost  double  the  strength  of  team  t 
to  pull  that  a  modern   plougli  does.      The  oiher  implements  were  ffw 
and  rude.      Blow  and  laborious  hand-labor  was  the  rule,  machine-work  k 
the  exception.     Thrashing  was  done  with  the  flail,  winnowing  by  the 
wind.     Indeed,  it  has  been  Raid  that  a  strong  man  could  have  carried  on^ 
hifi  shoulder  all  the  implements  used  on  a  farm  previous  to  th*'  present  : 
century.

which  \vu?  followed  with  little  chaugc  to  the  present  ceutury.  was  to  dig 
holes  tour  teet  apart,  put  ia  a  tish  or  lw(<,  and  drop  the  seed.      The  In- 

■  dians'  implement  was  a^ large  clam-shell ;  for  this  the  colonists  soon  sub- 
stituted the  grub-hoc.  Corn  was  thus  raised  in  the  James  River  settle- 
ment in  1008.  The  Pilgrims  similarly  began  its  cultivation  in  1621,  the 
tish  used  by  them  for  manure  being  ak-wives  or  shad.     An  early  chroai- 

■  cier  says  :  "According  to  the  manner  of  the  Indians,  we  manured  our 
ground  with  herrings,  or  rather  shadi*,  which  we.  .„.  take  with  great 
ease  at  our  doors.     You  may  see  in  one  townsiiip  one  hundred  acres  to- 

.  gether  set  with  these  tish  every  acre  taking  a  thousand  of  them,  and  an 
acre  thus  dressed  will  produce  as  much  corn  as  three  without  fish." 

In  Virginia  wheat  was  sown  so  early  as  1611,  but  its  culture  soon 
began  to  give  way  to  that  of  tobacco,  and  for  more  than  one  hundred 
years  it  was  almost  neglected,  and  Indian  corn— and,  later,  potatoes — 
came  to  be  relied  on  much  more  as  means  of  .sustenance.  As  a  matter 
of  fact,  wheat  lias  never  been  a  reliable  or  protitable  crop  on  our 
'  aastern  shores,  especially  in  the  Middle  and  Southern  States,  li^vea 
•  at  the  present  day,  with  all  our  improved-  mode><  of  tillage,  it  would 
be  grown  to  a  very  litHited  extent  were  it  not  for  the  sake  of  the 
«rass  crop  which  is  seeded  along  with  it.  Rye  and  barley  were  intro- 
<luc('d  f;uly,  and  it  l)ec!<uie  a  common  practice  U>  mix  rye  meal  with 
Indiaj)  meal  in  making  l.n-eati.  <>at5,ii>o  were  introduced  on  the  Massa- 
chusetts coast  as  e»vly  as  1602,  bul  tliey  were  used  chietly  as  food  fop 
M«inial.s.  Tlie  practice  of  sowinggras'i-seed  did  not  become  general  till 
4he  UevoUitii>n.  Here,  a-*  in  the  mother-country,  thi^  culture  is  the  re- 
sult of  modern  improvement.  The  culture  of  tlK-  [lotato.  though  intro- 
dnced  early,  was  not  recognized  as  of  importance  till  the  middle  of  last 

■  century,  when  the  root  ])ecame  esteemed  as  an  article  of  food.  In  1747 
seven  luindred  bu.shcls  were  exported  from  South  Carolina. 

Tobacco  began  u>  he.  cultivated  in  Virginia  from  the  very  origin 
•^of  the  colony.  It  is  recorded  that  in  1015  tlie  gardens,  fields,  and 
the  very  streets  of  Jamestown  were  all  planted  with  tobacco,  which 
became  not  (»nly  the  sta[>le  cro{>,  but  the  currency  of  the  colony.  By 
1632  the  pro(hict  anu»unted  to  60.000  pounds,  and  it  nu>re  tlian 
doubled  in  twenty  years.  Its  culture  wa«  introduced  into  the  Dutch

ing 'lie  Kevoliition-year'<  agriculinre  was  brought  to  a  slandsiill,  and 
for  lontr  after  it  was  in  a  state  of  extreme  depression.  Giadually  the 
necessity  of  making  some  effort  toward  its  development  began  todawu 
on  the  more  intelligent  and  i>ul)lics'jirited.  and  as  a  result  we  bad 
the  inauguration  of  local  r'gricultual  societies.  The  earliest  of  tbe- 
seems  to  have  been  the  South  Carolina  Society,  founded  in  1784;  tbt 
Pliilalelpbia,  in  1785;  New  York  in  1701;  Massachusettsr,  in  1192- 
Th"  first  agricultural  exhibition  took  place  under  tbe  auspices  ■  f  the 
Columbia  Society  at  Georgetown,  D.  C,  May  10,  1810,  and  others 
followed.  In  1816  the  Massaehusetts  Society  offered  premiums  and 
instituted  a  idoughing  match.  The  i)lougL-ni!iki'rs  were  there  witiB 
their  eyes  wide  open;  and  this  meeting,  if  it  did  not  absolutely  in- 
augurate the  new  eta  of  agricultural  mechanics,  certainly  gave  no 
mean  impulse  to  this  important  agent  in  the  development  of  American 
husbandry.  The  old  wooden  plough  gave  place  to  the  cast-iron  plough; 
of  New  Jersey,  which  is  in  turn  being  supplanted  by  the  polished, 
steel  plough  of  to-day.  A  better  knowledge  has  enabled  our  inventors- 
to  reduce  the  weight  of  the  parts  of  the  implements  and  at  the  same 
time  secure  more  effective  work  while  the  application  of  steam  is 
multiplying  our  resources  indefinately,  and  it  has  become  the 'main 
agent  in  the  development  of  the  great  West.  '  F6i'ty  acres  a  day  are" 
now  ploughed  by  steam,  instead  of  little  over  a  quarter  of  an  acre  in 
ancient  times.  The  steam  thrasher  now  does  the  work  of  a  thousand 
flails:  the  classic  sickle  has  been  supplanted  by  ihe  great  reaping  and 
binding-machine,  and  the  scythe  by  the  mower.  Hay  is  raked  and 
stacked  by  liorse-jwwer,  and  the  boy,  bag,  and  hoe  are  being 
superseded  by  the  automatic  corn-planter.  Space  would  fail  us  weft'

ami  the  ljest;|,crops.  His  simple  code  was:  "I  have  a  good  subject 
(farni);^I  pulverize  deeplj'  and  well,  clean  well,  and  manure  well."  This 
lies  al  the  button)  of  snccesslul  farming.  We  now  pass  to  the  consider- 
ation of  i)ractical  farm  topics.     First  let  us  look  at  the  subject  of 

DUAINING. 

It  has  been  well  termed  -'the  most  valuable  improvement  connected 
with  agriculture."  Drainage  does  the  same  service  for  the  soil  that  the 
hole  in  the  bottom  does  for  the  tlower-pot. 

But  drainage  produces  several  other  effects  that  are  important  :  (1) 
The  stagnant  watei'  being  removed  and  the  earlh  rendered  less  moist  at 
the  surface,  far  less  evapoi'ation  takes  place  there  ;  wherefore,  as  evap- 
oration cools  the  surface  very  considerably,  a  drained  field  keeps  the 
Leat  better,  and  as  a  consequence,  the  crop  lipens  earlier.  (2)  Lands 
well-drained  and  deeply  tilled  bear  the  drought  better  than  others,  by 
enabling  the  roots  to  penetrate  deeper  down  to  the  moist  earth,  and  by 
the  increased  porosity  enabling  the  soil  to  retain  moisture  longer.  (3) 
By  cari7ing  the  redundant  moisture  leadily  away  at  all  seasons  it  en- 
ables you  to  cultivate  sooner  after  wet  weather,  thus  lengthening  your 
season  for  tillage  and  thoroughly  mellowing  the  soil,  which  cannot  be 
done  if  it  be  too  wet.  (4)  It  avoids  the  danger  of  plants  being  frozen 
out  in  a  hard  winter,  which  they  often  are  if  the  surface  is  fu51  of  water 
on  the  approach  of  severe  frost.  (5)  The  drains  (especially  if  laid  with 
pipes)  open  the  soil  to  the  free  access  of  air,  and  the  soil  is  thus  rendered 
fit  to  absorb  and  retain  the  fertilizing  gases  of  the  atmosphere — carbon- 
ic acid  and  ammonia — as  well  ae  the  nutritious  substances  brought  into 
it  by  the  rain-water,  and  keep  them  laid  up  for  the  nourishment  of 
plants.  (0)  General  drainage  lessens  or  removes  malarious  influences, 
there  being  no  curse  so  baneful  to  a  farmer's  family  as  fever  and  ague. 
To  these  it  may  be  added  that  cold  and  stagnant  water  checks  the  de- 
composition ot  manures  and  prevents  them  feeding  the  crop. 

Drainage  is  eflected  either  by  open  ditches  or  by  covei'ed  drains. 
Open  ditclies  are  objectionable  for  the  following  reasons  :  they  occupy 
land  which  might  otherwise  be  productive ;  they  interfei'e  with  the 
proper  cultivation  of  the  land  ;  they  are  liable  to  cave  in  and  become 
dammed  up  ;  they  carry  off  much  of  the  best  of  the  manure  washed  into 
them  by  heavy  rains ;  weeds  are  liable  to  grow  along  their  sides. 

Under-drains  are  constructed  in  vaiious  ways.  Where  wood  is  pleu* 
ty,  surface  stones  scarce,  and  tiles  not  to  be  had,  logs  or  large  polcb  are 
sometimes  used.  One  pole  is  laid  lengthways  along  either  side  of  the 
bottom  of  the  ditch,  which  must  be  broad  enough  to  alloAV  a  free  run 
for  the  water  between  the  poles.  This  opening  is  covered  by  a  larger 
log  resting  on  the  two  bottom  ones,  and  the  whole  is  covered  with 
brush  laid  with  its  cut  ends  towards  the  outlet,  or  straw,  which,  again, 


118         MISCELLANEOUS  DEPABTMENT. 

should  be  covered  with  sods  with  ihe  grassy  side  downward,  the  object 
being  to  keep  the  run  clear  from  being  stopped  up  by  earth.  The  whole 
is  then  filled  m  with  earth  packed  close.  Stone  drains  are  made  much 
in  the  same  way,  except  that  in  place  of  logs  largish  stones  arc  used  to 
form  the  run,  or  the  ditch  is  filled  to  the  dei)th  of  nine  to  twelve  inches 
with  small  or  pouniled  stones.  Stone  drains  can  only  be  made  where 
there  is  abiuidance  of  stones  on  the  surface  of  the  land. 

Tile  drains  are  undoubtedly  the  best.  They  are  less  liable  to  get 
slopped;  the  tiles  are  out  of  reach  of  the  plou  h;  air  passes  upward 
through  the  bore,  thus  ventilating  and  enriching  the  soil ;  they  last 
longer  (a  properly-laid  drain  will  be  good  for  half  a  century),  and  are, 
ill  the  end,  more  economical.  F(n-  a  tile  drain  a  trench  of  a  foot  wide 
at  top  and  four  inches  at  bottom  is  sutficient.  For  the  pipe  a  simple 
round  tube  is  found  to  be  the  best  shape, and  for  the  interior  drains 
wliich  enter  into  the  larger  main  drains  a  bore  of  two  inches  in  diameter 
is  the  right  size.  The  distance  commonly  allowed  between  tile  drains 
is  25  feet  for  three  feet  deep  :  40  feet  for  4  feet  deep  :  80  feet  for  5  feet 
deep.  If  the  drains  are  20  feet  apart,  about  3000  tiles  to  the  acre  are 
required;  if  40,  about  1000 ;  if  80,  500.  Tiles  can  be  purchased  for 
from  flO  to  $12  a  thousand.  Deep  digging  saves  money  for  tiles,  and  is 
generally  l)olicved  to  be  more  eiTective.  A  tile  drain  must  be  deep 
enough  to  be  out  of  the  reach  of  frosts  and  to  be  beyond  the  reach  of 
roots ;  30  inches  is  a  co  >  men  depth  ;  but  a  drain  of  this  depth  is  not  so 
elTective  as  one  from  0  lo  ;^0  inches  deeper.  The  deep  drain  acts  far- 
ther and  with  more  effect  than  the  -^hallow,  catching  springs  the  other 
passes  over. 

Tiles  with  a  two-inch  bore  are  tlie  most  common  capacity,  and  they 
are  usually  made  about  fifteen  inches  long,  the  continuity  of  th(^  drain 
being  maintained  by  collars.  It  is  •  f  course  impossible  in  our  space  lo 
give  minute  details  as  to  the  distance,  grade,  and  digging  of  your  drains, 
or  ns  to  the  anangetncnt  of  main  and  lateral  drains,  for  these  vary  in 
nccoifiancf  with  circumstances.  One  point,  however,  the  tarmer  must 
iitlfud  to — viz.  lo  secure  a  ooiniietcnt  o\illct.  tor  witlioul  this  all  liis  toil 
,'ifnl  labor  is  tlirown  away.  Maki'  il  as  low  as  lircunistanccs  will  per- 
mit, in  order  lo  secure  as  great  a  fall  as  possible,  which  should  never  be 
loss  than  one  inch  to  iIk;  rod.  The  outlet  should  be  protected  by  either 
'»»rick  or  stone-work,  and  have  a  grate  over  the  same,  to  prevent  ob- 
structions getting  inlii  ihc  pipe.

All  cultivation,  whether  with  the  i»lougli,  hai  row,  or  hoe,  has  for  its 

■objecl  the  reducing  of  the  soil  lo  such  a  line  and  loo.se  condition  that  it

ILat  seeds  can  wilb  ease  send  down  their  tender  roots  and  receive  the 
nouisliment  essential  to  their  vigorous  development.  Hence  the  necessity 
for  tlKjiough  ploughing  as  the  first  and  most  important  process  in 
pulverization.  Ploughing  dune  in  the  fall  and  winter  has  this  great  ad- 
vantage, that  it  exposes  the  upturned  soil  to  the  action  of  frost,  which  is 
the  most  powerful  agent  in  crumbling  down  and  pulveiizing  the  soil  at 
the  same  time  destroying  the  roots  of  many  weeds.  The  objects  of 
ploughing  may  be  summed  up  as  follows :  To  destroy  existing  vege- 
tation ;  lossen  the  soil  and  aid  in  preparing  the  seed-bed ;  prepare  the 
lower  portions  of  the  soil  for  the  better  use  of  plants  by  exposure  to 
frost  and  atmospheric  influences  ;  gradually  deepen  the  productive  sur- 
face-soil ;  cover  fertilizing  materials  ;  admit  air  and  water  an.ong  the 
roots  of  the  plants. 

The  common  plough  is  the  instrament  conmionly  used  in  breaking  up 
the  land,  and  is  the  most  economical  that  can  be  employed.  In  passing 
through  the  soil  the  plough  separates  and  cuts  off  a  slice  of  its  surface, 
cutting  it  both  vertically  and  horizontally,  turning  it  over  in  such  a  way 
as  to  leave  it  exposed  to  the  action  of  the  harrow,  which  foll'>ws  the 
plougli  and  pulverizes  the  soil  more  completely.  The  furrow  should  be 
deep,  straight,  and  of  such  a  width  that  the  slice  cut  off  may  be  turned 
over  or  left  on  its  edge  a.s  the  ploughman  may  wish.  It  is  best  to  deepen 
the  arable  soil  gradually  by  ploughing  a'lout  an  inch  or  half  an  inch 
deeper  each  time,  till  it  is  worlied  deep  enough,  say  from  seven  to  twelve 
inches,  according  to  the  crops  it  is  designed  to  cultivate.  If  much  of  a 
poor  subsoil  should  be  brought  up  to  the  surface  at  once,  the  farmer  will 
have  to  wait  two,  three,  or  four  years  before  he  obtains  the  good  effects 
of  deep  tillage.  Deep  ploughing  has  much  the  same  effect  as 
thorough  draining,  though  in  a  less  degiee,  and  is  espedally  needed  in 
the  cultivation  of  deep  or  tap-rooted  plants,  like  carrots,  parsnips  and 
ruta-bagas. 

One  important  principle  miist  always  be  kept  in  view,  that  clay  or 
tenacious  soil  should  never  be  ploughed  when  eilhor  too  wet  o:  too  dry. 
If  ploughed  .wet,  clay  soils  will  bake  and  their  lertiliiy  is  injured  for 
j'ears.  On  wet,  stiff  soiis  there  is  no  rule  more  essential  thiiu  to  open 
them  as  early  as  possible,  that  they  may  have  the  full  benefit  ol  the  frost. 
If  left  till  spring  the  soils  may  be  too  wet  for  ploughing,  or  if  the  season 
be  dry  the  earth  when  turned  up  will  be  in  clods  very  unfit  for  vegetation. 
On  farms  having  a  pro]  ortion  of  clay  and  light  soils  it  is  necessary  that 
the  strong,  wet  land  be  ploughed  first  if  the  weather  will  allow. 

In  working  keep  your  team  as  close  to  the  plough  as  possible,  the 
plough  perpendicular,  and  the  furrow  straight.  A  furrow  seven  inches 
deep  should  be  ten  inches  wide.     Let  the  furrow  or  "  land"  be  as  long  as 


120         MISCELLANEOUS  DEPABTMENT. 

possible,  lo  avoid  loss  of  time  in  turnin,!,^     Wherever  practicable,  plough 
from  the  centre  of  the  field.     Keep  your  team  moving  at  a  regular  pace. 

SUBSOILING. 

The  subsoil  plough  is  designed  lo  follow  in  the  furrow  of  the  common 
plou.di,  loosening  ami  breaking  up  the  lower  layers  of  the  soil  without 
bringing  ihcm  to  the  surface.  With  this  instrument  it  is  easy  lo  loosen 
the  subsoil  six  or  eight  inches  below  the  furrow  left  by  the  ordinary 
plough,  stirring  the  land  lo  a  depth  of  twelve  or  eighteen  inches.  The 
benctits  of  subsoil  ploughing  are  very  similar  to  those  of  deep  ploughing, 
enabling  the  roots  of  the  plants  to  reach  the  nitrogen  and  other  ferti- 
lizing subslancce  that  exist  deep  below  the  surface,  as  also  to  get  beneath 
the  reach  of  drought,"  while  it  permits  air  and  rain  to  penetrate  deeper. 
On  land  well  undcrdiaiued  subsoiling  has  a  beneficial  effect;  on  land 
that  needs  draining  no  permanent  etfect  is  derived. 

HARROWING. 

The  harrow  is  an  ancient  implement,  its  most  common  use  being  to 
follow  the  plough,  tc  break  down  and  mellow  or  pulverize  the  furrow- 
slice,  and  60  to  prepare  a  fine  seed-bed.  It  is  also  of  material  use  in 
clearing  the  ground  of  such  weed  as  the  plough  has  brought  near  the 
surface,  as  well  as  in  covering  seeds  sown  broadcast.  In  fact,  the  har- 
row is  to  the  farmer  much  wliat  the  rake  is  totlte  gardner.  In  preparing 
a  line  surface  it  is  necessary  lo  go  over  the  grouiul  several  times  ii\ 
different  directions — that  is,  to  cross-harrow  repfeatedly.  No  specific 
number  of  times  can  be  indicated:  the  farmer  must  judge  for  himself 
when  the  ground  is  l)rought  to  a  sufticient  fineness  and  cleanliness. 

Tht-  cull i valor  may  be  regarded  as  a  modification  of  the  harrow,  but  in 
som«'  respects  more  efficient,  because  with  its  plough-shaped  teeth  it 
lightens  up  and  mellows  the  soil,  instead  of  pressing  it  down  hard,  as  the 
harrow  is  apt  lo  do  everywhere  e.\cei)l  on  new,  rough  land.  In  culti- 
vating hoed  crops  care  is  needed  to  avoid  cutting  the  roots.  In  the  early 
(Stages  of  growtli  cultivate  as  deeply,  and  late  in  the  season  as  shallow, 
a-  pfiK^ibh — just  deep  enough  to  kill  tlic  weeds.  When  plants  have

ROLLING   AND  CLOD-CRUSHING. 

Amoug  the  principal  uses  of  the  roller  are  the  followin2; :  Bypassing  it 
43-i7er  the  land  after  ploughing  it  settles  the  furrows,  so  tnat  they  will  not 
^53  disturbed  by  the  harrow  ;  it  grinds  to  dust  most  of  the  clods  on  the 
syiTtace;  it  presses  down  such  stones  as  the  harrow  has  exposed,  thus 
-preparing  a  smooth  surface  for  the  mower  or  reaper;  if  used  in  the 
spring  on  winter  grain,  meadow,  or  pasture,  it  settles  the  frost-heaved 
plant  back  in  its  place  and  compresses  the  soil  about  its  roots.  It  is 
often  useful  on  newly-sown  graiu.  hastening  the  germination  by  pre- 
-serving  the  moisture.  The  roller  maj''  be  used  to  advantage  in  the  dri- 
■tst  weather,  but  when  the  soil  is  so  wet  as  to  pack  instead  of  crumble 
3t  <loes  more  harm  than  good. 

On  compact  clay  soils,  where  the  clods  are  often  nearly  as  hard  as 
Ijiicks,  a  homemade  clod-crusher  is  often  more  efflcient  than  the  ordi- 
.?sary  roller. 

MANURES.  . 

The  term  "manure"  is  applied  to  all  substances  added  to  the  soil  with 
lite  view  of  increasing  its  ability  to  produce  vegetable  growth.  Chem- 
*str)-  teaches  us  that  the  food  of  all  plants  is  very  much  alike,  though 
■scxcne  classes  must  be  supplied  with  certain  substances  in  greater  abun- 
<dance  than  others.  The  great  mass  of  all  vegetables  is  resolved  into 
-sarbonic  acid,  water,  and  ammoni;i.  But  besides,  these  plants  on  being 
turned  leave  lime,  potash,  soda,  magnesia,  silica,  sulphates,  and  phos- 
phates as  ash.  If  any  one  of  these  elements  is  absolutel}^  wanting  in  the 
•*>il,  the  plants  to  which  tliat  element  is  essential  could  not  sprout  there, 
-aad  If  planted  would  pine  and  die  of  starvation.  Plaster,  for  example, 
3s  essential  to  clpver.  and  clover-seed  sown  in  a  soil  destitute  of  plaster 
■would  not  come  up,  or  if  it  were  present  in  insufHcient  quantity  the 
plant  would  be  proportionally  feeble  and  small.  The  same  holds  of 
'^verj'  plant,  and  the  obvious  remedy  is  to  add  artificially  to  the  soil 
tie  nutritive  elements  in  which  it  is  deficient.  It  would  plainly  "tran- 
-seend  the  scope  of  this  paper  to  enumerate  the  various  elements  neces- 
sary for  the  food  of  different  plants  and  to  describe  their  mode  of  action: 
u'hat  is  the  province  of  agricultural  chemistry.  We  must  limit  ourselves 
■TO  the  dii-ectly  practical. 

3Ianures  may  be  classified  in  accordance'witli  the  way  they  act  into 
aiutritive,  or  those  whose  ingredients  are  taken  up  by  the  roots  of  the 
plants  and  go  to  form  part  of  their  structure;  solvents,  or  those  which 
*ive  to  water  greater  power  to  dissolve  the  plant-food  contained  in  the 
-soil;  absorbents,  or  those  which  add  to  the  power  of  the  soil  to  absorb 
the  fertilizing  parts  of  other  manures,  of  rain-  and  snow-water,  and  of 
-*ie  air  in  the  soil;  mechanical,  or  those  which  improve  the  texture  of  the 
•xnl,  as  clay  on  sandy  or  peaty  soil,  peat  or  sand  on  clayey  soil:  some- 
times the  last  class  of  manures  are  termed  amendments. 


lt?'j         >]ISCELLA]SEOUS  DEPARTMENT. 

Another  division  of  ferlilizers  is  into  inorganic  or  mineral,  and  organic 
or  vegetable  and  animal. 

INORGANIC  FERTILIZERS. 

In  tlieir  general  character  inorganic  fertilizers  are  both  nmnures  an^ 
amendment?.  They  nourish  the  plants  and  exert  mechanical  action  up- 
on the  texture  of  the  soil — its  lightness,  stiffness,  couipaciness.  The- 
leading  mineral  fertilizers  are  lime,  marl,  plaster,  woodashes,  sulphates- 
and  other  salts  of  ammonia,  phosphates  and  superphosphateb  of  lirr.®^ 
salts  of  potash,  etc.,  etc. 

Lime  amends  a  soil  by  dec(jmposing  some  of  its  ingredients,  especially 
all  kinds  of  vegetable  matter.  It  corrects  acidity  in  organic  matter,  a32d 
destroys  weeds  favored  by  such  a  condition  of  soil.  It  aids  in  the  de*- 
composition  of  certain  salts  whose  bases  form  the  food  of  plants.  Ob, 
certain  lands  the  finer  grasses  do  not  grow  till  the  ground  has  beexr 
limed.  It  :s  especially  an  important  element  in  the  clovers,  tobacco,. 
peas,  and  turnips.  As  has  already  been  said,  it  is  unequalled  for  quick- 
ening a  rich  but  dormant  virgin  soil  into  active  energy.  It  may  eitnez 
be  spread  on  the  ground  befoie  ploughing  and  jjloughed  in,  or  it  may 
be  spread  alter  plpughing  and  harrowed  in,  or  simply  spread  over  pas- 
ture and  left  on  the  surface.  A  hundred  or  two  hundred  bushels  is  '^ 
fair  allowance,  good  land  bearing  a  larger  dose  than  poor,  thin  laud.  JL 
convenient  way  of  spreading  lime  regularly  is  to  divide  your  land  by 
furrows  into  checks  resembling  those  of  a  checker-board,  but  froiSE 
twenty  to  thirty  feet  square.  You  calculate  how  many  of  these  checks- 
are  in  an  acre,  and,  having  determined  how  many  bushels  you  are  going 
to  allow  to  an  acre,  you  easily  fix  how  much  is  to  be  placed  in  each  of 
the  checks.  This  may  be  placed  there  in  the  lump  and  allowed  to  slake 
by  the  action  of  the  atmosphere,  but  it  is  better  to  cover  it  with  earth,  aa- 
the  slaking  is  more  gradual  and  thorough.  After  being  slaked  it  is  easily 
spread  over  its  check  with  a  shovel. 

Marl  is  a  mixture  of  lime  and  clay  or  lime  and  sa<ul.  When  exposed 
to  the  atmosphere,  it  should  crunjble  easily,  as  its  action  is  in  proportiois 
t(i  its  leadiness  to  mix  perfectly  with  the  soil.  Though  less  energetic,  it 
lias  all  the  itcrmancut  effects  of  lime,  and  is  very  valuable  as  an  amend- 
menl.     Clayey  marl  should  be  applied  to  sandy  soils,  and  sandy  marl  tCf 

clayey. 

Plaster  or  gyps>im  (often  called  jilasler  of  Paris;  is  a  sulphate  of  lini&,. 
iiud  the  valuable  effects  it  produces  on  soils  are  owing  to  its  supplying 
them  not  onlj  with  lime,  but  with  the  important  and  sometimes  essentiar. 
element  s\djihur.  A  good  way  of  using  plaster  is  to  scatter  it  in  the- 
Bba]>e  of  the  finest  impalpable  powder  in  the  spring,  just  as  vegetation 
is  beginning,  wljile  the  dew  of  the  morning  or  evening  is  on  the  plants, 
so  that  It  may  stick.    It  ought  not  to  be  applied  in  rainy  weather,     Plas-

'iex  thus  applied  is  especially  good  for  clover.     It  is  used  also  for  legnm- 

iaous  plants,  and  for  corn,  potatoes,  and  turnips,  being  put  in  with  the 
isceds  or  sprinkled  on  them  after  the  first  hoeing.  It  is  also  useful  by 
:axing  the  annnonia  of  the  atmosphere  and  laying  it  up  for  the  future 
.  'ase  of  plants.  As  an  absorbent  of  ammonia  it  is  of  high  value  in  the 
•stable  and  poultry-yards,  acting  as  a  deodorizes,  while  its  value  as  a 
Ifertili/.er  is  greatly  enhanced.  From  one  hundred  to  two  hundred  pounds 
an  acre  is  a  dose. 

Sulphate  ot  soda  is  s  dd  to  be  good  for  clover  and  other  green  crops, 
sulphate  of  magnesia  for  these  crops  and  potatoes. 

A'<hes.—[\.  has  been  often  observed  that  on  strewing  wood-ashes  on  a 

aneadow  tliat  has  long  been  mown  thousands  of  clover-plants  make  their 

-appearance  where  none  were  visible  beforj.     Ashes  are  made  up  of 

salts,  as  silicates,  phosphates,  sulphates,  and  carbonates.     The  carbon- 

.^tes  and  sulphates  of  potash  and  soda  are  dissolved  out  by  leaching. 

The  silicates,  phosphates,  and  carbonates  of  lime  and  magnesia  are  in- 

-soluble.    Far  the  largest  part  of  leached  ashes  is  carbonate  of  lime,  the 

-  -next  being  phosphate  of  lime  or  bone-dust. 

Unleached  ashes  are  of  great  value  for  Indian  corn,  turnips,  beets,  and 
,  potatoes,  because  of  the  amount  of  salts  of  potash  they  contain;  for  so 
important  is  potash  to  these  plants  that  they  are  called  "potash  plants." 
The  leached  ashes  have  important  effects  when  mixed  in  the  compost - 
iieap.  Ashes  of  sea-coal  and  anthracite  are  an  excellent  top-dressing  for 
.^rass. 

Potuhli. — Potash  is  of  high  value  for  an}"  land  in  which  it  is  deficient. 
It  is  specialh'  valuable  for  the  plants  already  enumerated  as  "potash 
plants,"  as  well  as  for  oats  and  cabbage.  The  cheapest  way  to  get  potasli 
is  to  buy  the  German  mineral  kainit,  of  which  potash  constitutes  22  per 
-sent.     It  costs  at  the  port  of  import  about  $10  a  ton. 

Phosphot&s. — No  salts  are  of  greater  value  to  the  farmer  than  these. 
Mineral  phosphates  are  most  readily  got  b}'  dissolving,  by  means,  of  sul- 
■phuric  acid,  the  coprolites  constituting  the  well-known  South  Carolina 
-or  Charleston  lock.  These  dissolved  coprolites  contain  from  8  to  14  per 
•cent,  available  phosphoric  acid  and  2  to  3  per  cent,  potash.  Tliis  ma- 
aiure  is  useful  for  every  crop,  phosphates  giving  Iioues  their  great  value 
as  a  manure.     Acid  phosphate  can  be  had  at  Charleston  for  $15. o    a  ton. 

Suit. — Common  salt  is  of  great  value  as  a  fertilizer,  especially  ^or  cer- 
tain plants,  as  asparagus.  It  is  also  good  for  wheat,  making  the  straw 
brighter,  .s'tifFer,  and  stronger,  and  less  liable  to  lodge.  It  not  only  en- 
riches the  soil  but  kills  nearlj'  all  weeds,  and  must  therefore  l)e  used 
.Tith  di>cretiori.  In  small  proportions  it  is  of  value  to  all  cultivated 
•plants,  besides  rendering  grass  and  clover  more  palatable  to  animals. 
.Salt  that  has  been  used  for  curing  meat  or  fish  is  cheaper  and  better  tlian 
T>ure  salt.

ORGANIC  MAXUKE\

which  shall  serve  as  a  reservoir  to  hokl  in  readiness  for  plants  all  sorts^ 
of  food  necessary  to  their  growth,  especially  a  supply  of  carbonic  acid^ 
ammonia,  and  watei-,  -which  three  are  the  result  of  the  decompositioB  of 
vegetable  substances.  Organic  manures  should  therefore  be  employeiS. 
in  a  condition  favorable  to  decomposition,  either  in  a  fermented  state  em. 
ready  to  enter  into  fermentation. 

Organic  manures  are  either  vegetable,  animal,  or  mixed.  The  rnsias. 
purely  vegetable  maiuires  are  green  ciops  ploughed  under,  the  best 
plants  for  this  being  clover,  lucerne,  and  sainfoin,  vetches,  buckwheat, 
wild  mustard,  rye,  Indian  corn,  turnip- and  potato-tops,  etc.  For  sandir 
and  light  soil  the  best  are  the  clovers,  cabbages,  rye,  and  Indian  ccyi?. 
turnip-  and  potato-tops;  for  clayey,  stiff  soils,  beans  and  pease,  vetches.., 
clovers;  but  green  crops  are  least  suited  for  clay  soils.  For  calcareo^iss; 
soils  that  need  no  lime  they  are  very  useful,  as  also  for  dr}^  sandy  soSs.. 
Green  manuring  is  specially  useful  in  places  rennote  from  the  hom'estead^. 
where  the  expense  of  carriage  of  other  manure  would  be  considerable.- 

The  land  for  a  green  crop  meant  to  be  used  as  manure  for  wintsa;- 
wheat  and  rye  (for  both  of  which  it  is  suitable)  should  be  ploughed  dec-f; 
in  spring,  and  the  seed  sown  so  as  to  have  the  crop  in  full  bloom  &ix&. 
ready  to  be  ]jloughed  under  two  or  three  weeks  before  the  grain  is  to  "hB- 
sown.  Tlie  manure,  with  lime  or  plaster,  should  be  ploughed  in  totS«. 
depth  of  lour  to  six  inches,  and  the  wheat  or  rye  sown  just  as  decompe*- 
sition  begins. 

When  land  is  much  infested  with  weeds  two  green  crops  may  lac 
grown  the  same  season  and  ploughed  down  before  the  weeds  are  rips:. 
This  both  cleans  the  land  and  enriches  the  soil.  The  mechanical  textiir* 
ol  the  soil  is  imjjroved  by  jjloughiug  in  a  green  crop,  a  tenacious  soiE 
being  looseneil  and  made  more  friable,  and  coherence  being  given  t©>  a& 
sandy  soil. 

Kelp  and  rock -weed  aie  good  nianures  for  cabbages,  also  Ibi'  llax  ajx& 
hemp,  and  rye,  oats'  lurnijis,  and  clover  are  benetited.  Their  actioii  Ss 
immediate,  but  does  not  last  long. 

The  .'-traw  and  leaves  of  particular  vegetables  are  the  best  manures  fta 
these  vegetables — wheat  straw  lor  wheat,  jiotato-lops  for  potatoes,  grape- 
vine prunings  for  vines,  etc.  Straw  jtloughed  Into  stiff  soils  rendea*

for  animals  is  a^valuable  n)anure.  Leaves,  grasses,  young  twigs,  and  sM. 
other  green  vegetable  matter — the  very  element  ol  humus — are  valuabJi* 
ab  manures,  and  may  be  ploughed  in  fresh  or  added  to  the  comp©s5-.

ANIMAL  MAN  ORES. 

These  are  the  most  powerful  of  all,  on  account  of  the  great  quantity 
of  nitrogen  they  contain.  The  nitrogen  unites  with  hydrogen  and  forms 
ammonia,  and.  this  by  further  combination  forms  ammonical  salts,  which 
are  dissolved  by  water  and  carried  to  the  n.ots  of  plants.  The  flesh  of 
'quadrupeds,  fishes,  etc.  contains  50  per  cent,  carbon,  15  to  17  nitrogen, 
besides  sails  of  potash,  soda,  lime,  and  magnesia,  and  is  therefore  one  of 
the  very  best  of  manures.  The  best  way  to  utilize  dead  carcasses  for 
manure  is  to  put  ihem  in  a  hole  two  feet  deep,  cover  with  quicklime,  a 
layer  of  earth,  then  of  plaster,  and  ag:  in  of  earth.  In  a  few  weeks  the 
pit  rpay  be  opened,  the  bones  separated  and  used  for  manure,  and  thg 
remaining  mass  turned  over  and  mixed  with  earth,  '"The  body  of  a 
dead  horse,"  says  Dana,  "can  convert  twenty  tons  of  peat  into  a  madure 
richer  and  more  lasting  than  stable  manure." 

Hoofs,  hair,  feathers,  skins,  wool,  and  blood  contain  over  50  per  cent, 
carbon  and  from  13  to  18  nitrogen,  besides  salts  of  lime,  etc.  Made 
into  a  compost  they  are  e.xcellent  for  potatoes,  turnips,  hops,  or  for 
meadow-land.  Being  slow  of  decomposition,  their  action  may  last  seven 
or  eight  years.  Blood  especially,  containing  52  per  cent,  carbon,  17 
nitrogen,  besides  phosphates,  sulphates,  and  carbonates  of  potash,  soda, 
lime,  etc.,  is,  when  made  into  compost,  a  valuable  manure  for  light  soils, 
acting  quickly,  but  soon  carried  away.  It  is  good  for  spring  crops  and 
garden  vegetables. 

Bones. — The  employment  of  bones  as  a  manure  is  o)ie  of  the  greatest 
improvements  in  modern  agriculture.  The  chemical  constituents  of 
bones  are  gelatin  33.30  per  cent.,  phosphate  of  lime  50  to  60  per  cent., 
besides  carbonate  of  lime,  phosphate  of  magnesia,  soda,  and  chloride  of 
sodium  (common  salt).  Bones  are  applied  either  simply  reduced  to  small 
fragments  or  a  coarse  powder  called  '-bone-dust,"  or  dissolved  by  sul- 
phuric acid.  The  etiect  of  the  acid  on  bones  is  to  reduce  them  to  a  pulpy 
mass.  The  value  of  bones  lies  in  their  phosphates,  as  these  salts  are 
largely  removed  from  1  .nd  by  the  feeding  of  cattle  and  crops.  If  grass- 
lands are  sterile,  it  is  easy  to  discover  whether  a  deficiency  ot  phosphorus 
is  tiie  cause  by  adding  crushed  or  dissolved  bone  and  watchingthe  effect. 
It  is  as  an  application  for  turnips  that  bones  produce  their  most  marked 
results.  The  seed  is  small,  with  only  a  limited  supply  of  phosphates 
stored  ui).  Unless  the  roots  n.eet  a  concentrated  supply,  the  other  ele- 
ments of  plant-food — carbonic  acid,  ammonia,  water — cannot  be  assim- 
ilated. Bone-dust  may  be  applied  at  tue  rate  often  to  twelve  hundred- 
weight to  the  acre,  and  its  efl'ects  will  be  observed  for  several  years. 

The  action  of  bones  is  accelerated  by  converting  their  phosphates  into 
super-phosphates  by  treating  with  sulphuric  acid  diluted  with  water. 
The  pasty  mass  may  then  be  mi.xed  with  water  in  the  proportion  of  one

mixed  with  a  large  quantity  of  earth,  sawdust,  soot,  or  powdered  char- 
coal, and  thus  applied,  No  artificial  manure  is  to  be  so  thoroughly  re- 
lied on  as  i)ure  bone. 

Mixed  Manures, — Of  all  Ihefertilizevsat  the  disposal  of  the  farmer, 
none  is  to  be  compared  in  value  to  fiirmyard  manure.  "Without  ma- 
nure," says  the  French  proverb,  "there  are  no  good  fields;  with  plenty 
of  manure  there  are  no  poor  ones."  Other  manures  have  great  value  for 
particular  purposes;  this  is  useful  for  all.  This  is  just  what  w6  should 
expect.  The  concentrated  essence  of  the  nutritious  elements  of  plants 
forms  the  food  of  man  and  animals.  All  these  valuable  elements,  ex- 
cept the  comparatively  small  portion  which  is  converted  into  flesh  or 
milk,  are  returned  to  the  manure-heap,  or  ought  to  be.  Manure  con- 
sists not  oiiiy  oi  luai  pan.  oi  lue  animal's  food  not  assimilated  and  dis- 
f.'.rded  in  the  form  of  dung  and  urine,  but  also  of  the  straw,  cornstalks, 
leaves,  etc.,  used  as  bedding,  as  well  as  the  waste  food  and  litter  from 
the  manger,  feed-bo.x  and  rack.  The  richer  the  food  upon  "which  stock 
is  fed,  so  much  richer  the  manure  produced.  Thus  stock  fed  upon  stravp 
have  a  very  poor  manure,  while  turnips,  and  especially  oil. cake,  add 
largely  to  its  value.  Although  farmyard  manure  is  useful  for  all  plants, 
Uurc  are  .-iome  to  which  it  is  more  valua.l)le  than  others.  Potatos  and 
beans  :ire  raised  with  best  success  with  this  manure.  It  also  tends  to 
render  111 uds  more  adapted  for  carrying  clovers,  and  many  farmers  ap- 
iply  it  to  lands  to  be  sown  out  with  gra.saes.  As  a  top  dressing  for  win- 
er  whi-at  (see  Whk.\t)  it  is  of  the  highest  value,  protecting  the  tender 
grain  from  l..e  effects  of  severe  Irost  and  enriching  the  land  far  more 
permanently  than  any  fertilizer  sown  along  with  the  crop,  save,  it  may 
be,  bones.  Speaking  generally,  we  may  say  cow  and  ox-manures  are 
more  suitable  for  dry,  light  soils;  that  from  the  horse-stable  for  stiff,  clay- 
ey sdils;  Uio.se  Irom  the  jjenfold  and  the  pig-stpe  arc  better  fitted  for 
meadow-lands,  as  they  often  imi>art  a  disagreeable  flavor  to  culinary- 
vegetables.  Poultry  manure  is  by  far  the  strongest  of  all,  and  must 
therefore  be  u.sed  with  great  caution,  otherwise  you  run  the  risk  of  burn- 
ing your  eroj).  It  ought  always  to  be  largely  mixed  with  earth  or  other 
proper  basis  for  a  coinjiost. 

The  best  materials  for  bedding  horses  and  cattle  are  straw,  leaves, 
sedge,  reeds,  sawdust'  and  damngeil  hay.  Where  these  cannot  be  had, 
then  resource  may  be  hau  to  turf,  iojun,  or  even  sand.  When  cattle  are 
fed  in  sheds  ih(!  whole  surface  should  be  covered  with  such  substances. 
The  Blablos  may  be  kept  clean  and  sweet  by  Kpriiikling  a  little  plast^er 
on  ilieir  Hofirs  once  a  day. 

The  main  object  in  n-gard  to  manure  should  be  that  none  of  it,  liquid 
or  Bolid,  be  lost  or  become  less  ellieienl  than  it  ought  to  be.     If  it  be  left 


MISCELLANEOt^S  DEPARTMENT.         127 

exposed  to  the  open  air  and  suffered  to  be  drenched  with  rain  or  i)arch- 
■id  up  hy  the.  sun.  a  p;vc'dt  proportion  of  the  products  will  be  washed 
away  or  be  volatilized.  The  best  and  most  convenient  arrangement  is  to 
have  the  manure  fall  into  a  cellar  under  the  stable.  There  is  danger  of 
it  heating  here  from  the  process  of  decomposition  which  immediately 
nets  in,  anc!  of  its  most  valuable  constituent,  ammonia  escaping.  In  a 
cellar  where  the  liquid  manure  is  saved  as  carefully  as  the  solid,  and 
into  which  a  stream  of  water  may  be  directed  by  a  spout  from  the  eaves, 
this  will  ^arcely  occur  ;  but  if  the  smell  of  ammonia  is  perceived,  then 
a  good  plan  is  to  cover  the  heap  with  a  layer  ot  plaster  or  fresh  garden- 
soil  or  loam.  In  no  case  should  the  temperature  be  i>€rmitted  to  rise 
above  100  degrees  Fahr.  If  there  is  not  a  cellar  below  your  stables,  it 
is  wise  economy  to  cover  the  heap  with  a  roof  and  convey  off  the  water 
from  the  eaves. 

Guano  is  largely  vegetable  in  its  substance,  modified  by  the  processes 
it  undergoes  in  the  animal  body.  We  class  it,  therefore,  as  a  mixed 
manure.  It  is  the  dropping.s  of  sea-fowls  collected  for  innumerable 
years  on  certain  uninhabited  islands  on  the  coasts  of  Africa  and  Peiii. 
in  a  climate  not  subject  to  rain,  mingled  large!}'  with  remains  of  feath- 
ers, eggs,  food  and  carcasses.  In  some  places  it  accumulates  to  the 
depth  of  sixty  to  eighty  feet.  Different  specimens  vary  much  in  (juality. 
The  following  may  Ik;  regarded  as  a  sort  of  average  analysis  ot  pure, 
good  guano  ;  Organic  matter,  containing  nitrogen,  50  per  cent  :  water, 
11  ;  phosphate  of  lime,  25;  ammonia,  phosphate  ot  magnesia,  phosphate 
and  o.xalate  of  ammonia,  1";  .si'!dr/,'>.^  ii,..Llv.;-  T.-v,;::  ciu^,:.  <  f  Llic!.';,  1. 
Tlie  above  analysis  exhibits  a  strongly  concentrated  manure.  As  we 
have  indicated,  it  is  above  the  medium,  as  much  as  15  to  20  per  cent  of 
sand  alone  being  found  in  some  specimens.  Guano  used  to  be  largely 
used  for  roots,  gi-ains,  and  other  cultivated  crops,  and  as  a  top-di'essing 
for  grass.  Before  using  it  for  the  latter  p'.npose  it  should  be  mixed 
with  twice  its  weight  of  fine  earth,  plaster,  charcoal-dust,  or  ashes.  The 
proper  dose  is  two  hundred  to  four  hundred  pounds  an  acre,  sown 
broadcast  and  harrowed  in  or  supplied  in  two  dressings,  the  first  imme- 
diately upon  the  plants  appearing,  but  so  as  not  to  come  in  contact  with 
them ;  the  other,  from  ten  to  fourteen  days  later,  immediately  before 
rain  or  moist  weathei.  It  t-an  be  used  as  liquid  manure  by  dis.'^olving 
four  pounds  in  twelve  gallons  of  water  and  letting  it  stand  for  twenty- 
tour  hour.•^  before  using.  The  best  guano  -  viz.  that  from  the  Peruvian 
islands  —  is  now  becoming  exhausted,  and  what  is  in  the  market  is  niuch 
infericn- ;  therefore  its  use  is  not  nearly  so  general  as  formerly.  Another 
reason  for  its  comparative  disuse  is  the  general  i:>.pres.sion  that  guano 
does  nf)t  enrich  the  soij,  but  by  it.^  stimulating  effects  on  the  plants 
leaves  it  rather  poorer  than  before  its  application.

Useful  Farm  Recipes  and  Hints. 

All  excellent  and  economical  paint  tor  rough  vvoocUvork  can  be  made 
of  nielled  pitch,  six  i.ounds ;  linseed  oil,  one  pint ;  and  brickdust  or 
yellow  ochre,  one  i)ound. 

Lime  inUtewash.—VlAce  some  freshly-burned  quicklime  in  a 
pail  and  pour  on  suflicient  water  to  cover  it  (k  the  lime  is  fresh  great 
heat  is  given  out)  ;  then  add  one  pint  of  boiled  linseed  oil  to  each  gallon 
of  wash.  For  cheapness  any  refuse  fat,  such  as  dripping,  may  be  used 
instead  of  the  boiled  oil.  The  whole  should  be  thinned  v^{h  water. 
Should  colored  wash  be  required, one  pound  of  green  vitriol  added  to  every 
two  gallons  of  wash  gives  a  very  pleasing  drab.  The  brush  should  not 
be  left  in  the  lime-wash  or  the  bristles  will  be  destroyed. 

Quicklime  slaked  with  skimmed  milk  and  afterward  thinned  with 
water  makes  an  excellent  wash  for  outdoor  walls,  as  it  is  not  acted  upon 
by  the  weather. 

Calcimine,— This  is  a  substitute  for  whitewash  and  is  used  for  nice 
work.  It  is  made  of  Paris  white  and  glue  sizing  in  this  proportion  ; 
twenty  pounds  of  Paris  white  to  one  pound  of  glue,  dissolved  in  boiling 
water.     Dilute  the  mixture  with  water  until  it  is  oi  a  creamy  thickness. 

U  hitewash.  -Tdka  half  a  bushel  of  unslaked  hme  and  slake  it  with 
boiling  water.  Cover  it  during  the  process.  Strain  it,  and  add  a  peck  of 
salt  dissolved  in  warm  wa'.er,  three  pounds  of  ground  rice  boiled  to  a 
thin  paste  put  in  boiling  hot,  half  a  p  und  of  Spanish  whiting, 
and  a  pound  of  clean  glue  dissolved  in  warm  water.  Mix  it  and  let  it 
stand  several  days.  Keep  it  in  a  kettle,  and  put  it  on  hot  as  possible 
witli  a  brush.  It  is  .said  to  look  as  well  and  last  nearly  as  1  .ug  as  oil 
jtaint    on  wood,  brick,  or  stone. 

A  very  siini)le  wash  may  be  made  in  the  following  manner  :  Slake  as 
above,  and  add  to  each  pailful  half  a  pint  of  ^ait  and  the  same  quantity 
of  wood-ashes  sifted  fine ;  this  makes  it  thick  like  cream,  an  I  covers 
smoke  much  better.     Use  hot.     Coloring  may  be  used  if  desired. 

(Jhedjt  ff'd'ih  for  liHildinffs— Take  a  clean  water-light  cask  and 
put  into  iialf  a  bushel  of  lime.  Slake  it  by  pouring  water  over  it  boiling 
liol  und  in  suflicient  (piantity  to  cover  it  five  inches  deep,  and  stir  briskly 
until  it  is  thoroughly  slaked.  When  the  lime  has  been  slaked,  dissolve 
it  in  water,  and  add  two  pounds  of  s\ilphate  of  zinc  and  one  of  common 
salt.  These  will  cause  the  wash  to  harden  and  prevent  its  cracking, 
which  gives  an  unseemly  appearance  to  the  work.  A  beautiful  cream- 
color  may  be  given  to  the  wash  by  adding  three  pounds  of  yellow  ochre, 
or  a  good  pearl-orlead-color  by  the  aduition  of  a  lump  of  iron-black 
For  fawn-color  add  four  pounds  of  umber,  one  pound  of  Indian  red,  and 
one  pound  of  common  lampblack.  For  stone-color  add  two  pounds  of 
raw  umber  and  two  pounds  of  lampblack.     When  applied  to  the  outside

of  houses  iind  to  fences,  it  is  rendered  more  durable  by  adding  about  a 
pint  of  sweet  milk  to  a  gallon  of  wash. 

Damaged  Hay  m-^y  be  rendered  available  by  cutting  into  chaff  and 
dressing  with  molasses  and  water. 

To  Preserve  JVoodeu  Buildings. — Mix  two  parts  of  tar,  one  of 
pitch,  half  ot  resin;  boil,  and  paint  the  wood  when  quite  hot.  Give 
two  coats,  well  sanding  with  the  last. 

Flooring  for  Pig-styes. — Take  six  parts  of  gravel,  three  of  sand, 
and  one  of  cement ;  mix  dry,  and  tiien  make  into  mortar.  Spread  three 
inches  thick  over  the  ordinary  floor. 

Sulphuring  Seed. — A  safe  plan  in  sowing  any  kin  !  of  seed  is  to 
mix  it  with  sulphur-  about  one  pound  to  twelve  pountls  of  seed.  It 
serves  to  impart  vigor,  and  keeps  away  parasites.  The  sulphur  may  be 
fearlessly  mixed  wiih  the  seed  and  sown  with  it. 

To  Destroy  Caterpillars,— These  are  great  pests  in  the  garden, 
devouring  gooseberry  and  currant  bushes,  cabbages,  etc.  The  best  plan 
is  to  mix  up  a  quantity  of  turpentine  and  water  to  sprinkle  the  bushes 
with.  In  order  to  make  the  turpentine  mix  well,  some  fine  mould  must 
be  mixed  with  it,  and  the  water  added  to  the  required  consistency.  It 
need  not  be  very  strong,  but  a  fair  sprinkling  from  a  watering-pot  with 
a  good  rose  on  the  spout  will  kid  them  or  prevent  them  from  doing 
further  damage.  Tar- water  is  also  said  to  be  effective,  and  is  excellent 
for  destroying  green  fly,  wood  lice,  and  ants. 

To  Destroy  Potatoe-bugs. — Mix  one  pound  of  Paris  green  with 
ten  pounds  of  flour  or  whiting.  The  mixture  suouid  be  siticU  ou  tlie 
potato-hills  while  the  vines  are  wet  with  due  or  rain. 

To  Destroy  the  Striped  Dug  on  Cucumbers  or  Melons. — 
Sift  charcoal  (lust  over  the  plants  tlircc  or  four  times  in  succession,  or 
take  a  solution  of  one  peck  of  iie;i-house  maiuire  to  one  and  a  half 
gallons  of  water,  and  sprinkle  the  viues  freely  after  sunset. 

Por  Killing  Lice  on  cows,  horses,  and  hogs  the  following  appli- 
cation is  successful :  Take  the  water  in  which  potatoes  have  been  boiled 
and  rub  it  over  the  skin  of  the  animal  to  be  treated.  The  lice  will  be 
dead  in  two  hours,  and  no  further  progeny  appeaj*. 

Shelters  for  Sheep— Slu^ep  should  have  slielter  to  run  under  at  all 
seasons.  They  need  it  during  the  long  cold  rains  of  autumn  fully  as 
much  as  any  other  animal  on  the  farm  does.  They  get  soaked  to  the 
skin  during  these  long  rains,  and  in  that  condition  suffer  great  discom- 
fort, which  always  tells  on  the  flesli  and  general  condition.  Sheds  for 
this  purpose  are  easily  and  cheaply  constructed  in  the  pasture  or  field  if 
it  is  not  convenient  to  let  them  up  to  the  stables.

The  Sit n/ioH-ri'.— This  plant  is  truly  useful  as  well  as  ornamental. 
The  tiowcr^  contain  a  large  quantity  of  honey  and  are  most  a' tractive  to 
bees,  and  tlie  .seeds  are  much  relished  by  poultry.  The  seeds  yield  a 
large  percLiitage  of  fine  oil,  wlnlc  the  leaves  and  cut  stalks  are  reli.shcd 
by  cattle.  The  first  fif)wers,  just  before  full  bloom,  furnish  a  i)alatHbl(' 
dish  for  the  table,  resembling  artichokes  in  flavor.  The  seeds  ground 
into  flour  make  very  good  cakes,  and  if  roasted  furnish  a  drink  not 
mudi  inferior  to  cocoa.  Boiled  in  alum,  they  make  a  good  blue  color- 
ing-matter. The  leaf  is  u.scd  as  tobacco,  the  seed-pods  made  into  blot- 
'ing-l»ai)ei,  and  the  plants,  if  grown  in  damp  places  —  for  they  will  grow 
jiny where  —  are  a  protection  against  intermittent  fever. 

llai-iicHS  Polish. — To  make  a  good  harness  polish,  take  ol  mutton 
-uel  iui»  ounces;  beeswax,  . !.;  .'.■..;.^c.- ;  \.i...  J.-ii.."!  .-U^...;,  . ::.  v,v,ikco  ; 
lampblack,  one  ounce  ;  green  or  yellow  soap,  two  ounces;  and  water, 
lialfa  pint.  l)i><solve  the  soap  in  the  water,  add  the  other  solid  ingre-

neats'-fooi  nj]  in  small  (pianiiiicv.     Never  use  vegetable  oils  on  leather. 

To  MaUf  Ilofttx  ami  Shots  llUfcr proof. — Take  one  pound  of 
fresh  tallow  or  mulloii  sml  and  melt  it  in  an  earthenware  dish  with  half  a 
pound  of  beeswax  and  about  half  an  ounce  of  resin,  and  apply  the 
mixture  while  warm  to  the  soles  and  uppers,  which  should  be  well 
soHke<l  with  it.  Soaking  the  soles  in  boiled  linseed  oil  in  a  flat-bottomed 
vcKHt'I  renders  I  hem  waterproof.  Tlie  oil  should  not  be  deeper  than  the 
thIcknesK  of  the  soles,  as  it  'should  not  get  upon  the  upper  leather,  for 
•  it  would  render  it  hard.  To  take  the  stifliiess  out  of  boots  and  shoes 
when  they  linve  been  wet,  il  is  well  to  rub  thcin  thoroughly  with  castor 
oil,  or  the  following  niixture  is  exeellenl  :  lUirgundy  pitch,  half  an

should  be  melted  together,  and  nibbed  into  the  leather  when  quite  dry 
before  the  (ire  or  in  the  hot  sun. 

To  Uestroj/  Rati*. — The  following  is  an  effectual  mixture  :  Melt 
hog's  lard  in  a  bottle  inimerseJ  in  water  heated  to  about  150  deg.  Fahr.; 
then  put  in  half  an  ounce  of  phosphorus  for  every  pound  of  lard,  and 
add  a  pint  of  whiskey.  Cork  the  bottle  tight  when  the  mixture  has 
been  heated  as  hot  as  the  water,  and,  taking  it  out  of  the  water,  shake 
it  well  until  a  milky-looking  liquid  is  formed.  When  the  liquid  cools 
it  will  afford  a  solid  compound  of  phosphorus  and  lard,  from  which  the 
spirits  may  be  poured  off  and  used  again  if  needed.  Warm  the  com- 
pound a  little  and  pour  it  into  a  mixture  of  wheat  flour  and  sugar.  This 
dough,  rolled  into  pellets,  is  to  be  laid  in  rat-holes.  It  will  be  found 
as  etHcacio'.s  as  any  rat-poison  sold. 

yew  /tc-f/.s,  VIC. — To  remove  the  disagreeable  taste  from  new  kegs, 
churns,  or  other  wooden  vessels,  first  scald  them  with  boiling  water, 
then  dissolvf;  some  pearlash  or  soda  in  lukewarm  water,  adding  a  little 
lime  to  it,  and  wash  the  inside  of  the  vessel  well  with  the  solution  ; 
afterward  scald  it  well  with  plain  hot  water  before  using. 

A  Good  Disinfectant. — Permanganate  of  potassa  in  soluti'»n, 
twenty-five  grains  to  two  quarts  of  water,  is  an  excellent  disinfectant ; 
it  can  be  used  for  removing  odors  in  utensils  or  in  rooms.  It  is  excel- 
lent for  disinfecting  mouldy  barrels.  Two  or  three  tablespoonf uls  of 
the  solution,  added  to  a  pint  of  water,  will  cleanse  a  cask  or  barrel, 
which  should  be  washed  and  rinsed  out  well. 

Corn-cribs. — A  corn-crib  should  be  mounted  on  posts  several  feet 
high,  and  these  capped  with  inverted  metal  pans,  in  order  to  prtn-enl 
depredations  from  rats  and  mice. 

Protecting  JToi'ses, — Sponging  horses  with  a  solution  of  a  dram 
of  Persian  insect-powder  to  a  quart  of  water  is  said  to  be  an  effectual 
remedy  against  the  anno3^ance  of  flies  and  insects. 

Advice  on  Sheep- raising. — In  winter  it  is  of  prime  importance 
that  sheep  sliould  have  plenty  ot  rough  feed  in  connection  with  their 
green  rations.  Corn-fodder  nicely  cured  stands  at  the  head,  being  rel- 
ished by  the  sheep  and  excellent  in  assisting  the  fattening  process.  The 
corn  used  in  fattening  sheep  dees  not  need  the  preparation  necessar^^  for 
cattle.  One  of  the  best  rations  for  fattening  is  composed  of  three  parts 
of  shelled  corn,  one  part  of  wheat  bran,  with  a  little  oil  meal  added. 
This,  fed  in  connection  with  fodder  or  clover  ha}-,  with  a  plentiful  sup- 
ply of  pure  water,  gives  excellent  results. 

Sheep  can  best  be  fattened  at  from  one  and  a  half  to  two  years  old. 
Previous  to  this  time  the  wool  should  pay  a  reasonable  profit  upon  the 
keeping.  At  this  age  sheep  will  take  on  more  fat  from  the  same 
amount  of  feed,  and  the  mutton  be  of  better  quality,  than  if  held  longer. 


ins         MISCELLANEOUS  DEPARTMENT. 

The  mutton  market  is  most  active  from  about  the  1st  of  February  until 
the  Isl  of  May,  after  this  period  the  supply  generally  being  full  and 
prices  lower.  Sheep  fattened  for  the  earl ■>  market  require  more  feed, 
better  shelter  and  care,  but  the  price  received  generally  pays  for  this 
extra  cost.  Those  turned  into  market  during  the  summer  or  fall  have 
the  advantage  of  green  feed  supplied  at  less  cost  than  the  dry. 

If'efiiihtff  PiffK. — In  weaning  pigs.  saj'S  an  authority,  there  is  soine- 
thing  more  to  be  considered  than  simply  taking  them  away  from  their 
mother.  They  should  be  weaned  gradually,  so  as  not- to  get  any  stunt 
or  setback.  To  take  jiigs  away  from  their  mother  and  little  home  be- 
fore tliey  have  been  taught  to  eat  gives  them  a  check  for  at  least  two 
weeks,  and  this  is  quite  a  little  part  of  their  lives  if  they  are  designed  for 
slaughter  when  thej'  are  six  to  eight  months  old.  Feeding  them  in  a 
separate  jilace  to  which  they  have  access  Avill  accustom  them  to  eating, 
and  when  deprived  of  their  mothers  milk  they  will  refuse  to  eat  until 
driven  to  it  by  hunger. 

Jfow  to  Sharpen  a  Scythe, — Keei>  the  blade  firmly  upon  the 
grindstone,  with  the  point  drawn  toward  the  body  of  the  holder,  at  an 
angle  of  about  forty-tive  degrees  with  the  edge  of  the  stone.  Commence 
to  grind  at  the  heel,  and  move  it  steadily  along  ^s  the  work  progresses 
until  the  point  is  reached  ;  then  grind  the  other  side  in  the  same  man- 
ner. Never  rub  the  scythe  back  and  forth  upon  the  stone,  as  though 
fnde.-ivoring  to  whet  it.  The  revolution  of  tin-  stone  will  wear  away 
llie  steel  much  better  than  rubbing  it  in  lliis  manner,  by  wliich  the  edge 
is  likely  to  be  made  round  and  to  be  set  irrcguhirly.  li  is  prefer  ibli^  to 
hold  the  scythe  so  that  the  slone  will  revolve  toward  the  edge.  In  this 
way  the  holder  can  see  when  the  edge  is  renched,  and  the  piirticles 
ground  off  are  carried  away  clean.  In  lh<!  opi  osite  me-hod  of  grinding 
lliere  is  risk  of  making  a  "  feather  edge"  wliieh  will  rendily  crumble 
off  and  leave  the  seytlir  almost  or  (piite  as  dull  as  betbre.  The  blade 
8b<»uld  be  ground  equally  on  both  .sideB,  In  whetting  the  scythe  lay  the 
rifli- or  whetstone  Hat  against  the  hide  of  the  blade,  and  give  a  light, 
quick  si roke  <lownwaril  and  forward  in  the  direction  of  the  edge,  so 
that  the  seratclHs  it  makes  shall  keep  (he  poinis  set  in  the;  same  direc- 
tion as  wiiH  given  rliem  by  grinding.  liy  following  these  simple  sug- 
gestions a  scythe  may  be  made  to  hold  its  edge  twice  as  long  as  when 
the  rille  or  whetstone  is  drawn  ;iloiig  the  edge  almost  at  random.  A  few 
strokes  carefully  taken  will  niiible  the  workman  to  keep  the  proper 
dinction  and  whet  rapidly. 

yt  Simple  Moile  „f  Shinpeninff  KiJije  7V;o?.s-.— Place  the  cut- 
ling  pait  of  the  tool  in  water  conlainiiig  one-twentieth  of  its  weight  of 
sulphuric  or  muriatic  acid  :   after  allowing  it  to  remain  there  for  half  an 


MISCELLANEOUS  DEPARTMENT.         133 

wipe  it  gcutly  ^ith  a  piece  of  soft  rag.  and  in  a  few  hours  set  it  on  au 
ordinary  strop.  Tlie  eflfect  of  the  acid  is  to  supply  the  place  of  the  oil- 
stone, but  uniformly  corroding  the  entire  surtixce,  so  that  nothing  but  a 
good  polish  is  afterward  needed. 

Care  of  the  Gi'lndsfone.—A  gritfdstone  should  not  be  exposed  to 
the  weather,  as  it  is  not  only  injuiious  to  the  woodwork,  but  the  sun's 
rays  harden  the  stone  so  much  as  in  time  to  render  it  useless.  Neither 
should  the  stone  be  allowed  to  stand  in  the  water  in  which  it  runs,  as  the 
part  remaining  in  the  water  softens  so  much  that  it  wears  unequally,  and 
rhis  is  a  common  cause  of  grindstones  becoming  "  out  of  tune." 

Farm  Bookkeepinrj.—^oWxmg  conduces  more  powerfidly  to  the 
protitable  a  id  satsfactory  results  of  any  business  or  undertaking  than  a 
regular  and  systematic  jegistration  of  every  pn-ceeding,  from  the  exami- 
nation of  which  a  (dear  and  accurate  knowledge  can  at  any  time  be  de- 
rivetl  of  the  state  and  progress  ot  the  whole  business.  Farming  Is  com- 
posed of  three  very  cliief  ingredients— labor,  money  and  stock,  live  and 
dead.  Each  of  thee  elements  requires  a  distinct  attention,  and  also  the 
branches  into  which  the  connections  are  dive  ged  ;  each  separate  detail 
implies  a  statement  of  its  business  and  a  review  rendered  of  the  success 
or  defalcation.  Expenses  of  every  kind  must  be  exhibited  in  the  weekly 
and  yearly  arrangements  ;  outlays  in  money  must  be  singly  exposed,  and 
labor  b}^  itself,  so  that  the  several  items,  being  individually  set  to  view, 
are  joined  into  a  yearly  aggregate.  Grain  crops  must  be  seen  in  the 
quantity  and  value,  the  disposal  by  sale  and  by  domestic  use.  The  ani- 
mals that  are  kept  for  work  demand  a  view  of  the  number  and  trans- 
actions among  the  sales  nnd  casualities,  so  that  any  protit  or  loss  in  that 
department  is  seen  by  a  single  reference.  The  fattened  animals  are 
singly  kept  in  view,  in  order  to  show  the  income  derived  from  each  kind 
of  feasts  that  are  reared.  Sales  must  be  registered,  and  an  account  will 
show  the  debts  outstanding  at  any  perio.l  of  time.  All  minor  occur- 
rences are  noted  in  a  memorandum  page  and  transferred  to  the  standing 
place  when  the  nature  of  the  affair  reqiiires  the  position. 

The  books  needed  by  a  fiirmer  are  a  diary,  a  day-book,  and  a  ledger. 
Another  book  will  be  convenient  if  an  account  is  kept  with  each  crop, 
and  with  separate  tields,  but  this  method  can  hardly  be  recommended 
for  ordinary  use.  In  the  diary  a  record  of  each  day's  work  and  the 
weather  should  be  kept.  Business  transactions  of  all  kind  should  bs 
noted  immediately.  In  regard  to  debiting  and  crediting  Mr.  Waring 
gives  the  following  rule  :  "When  you  let  your  neighbor  or  he  with 
whom  you  deal  have  anything  from  you,  it  is  a  charge  against  him,  and 
you  must  charije  him  with  it  on  the  debit  side  of  the  account ;  but  wheur 
ever  you  receive  anything  from  him  it  is  a  credit,  and  you  must  credit 
him  with  it  on  th^  credit  side  of  the  account.'    There  are  several  books 


134         MISCELLANEOUS  DEPAETMENT. 

prepared  expressly  for  farm  bookkeeping,  and  it  is  well  that  every  farmer 
should  have  one,  for  they  will  save  much  work  by  their  conveuient 
manner  of  arrangement.  But,  at  any  rate,  every  farmer  should  keep  a 
set  of  books.     The  cost  of  the  books  is  but  a  trifle,  and  but  little  time  is 

needed  to  keep  them. 

The  Common  Ailments  of  the  Horse. 

This  treatise  has  been  compiled  chiefly  from  Mayhew's  excellent  and 
stand  work,  though  other  authorities  have  been  consulted. 

The  causes  of  the  various  ailments  arc  given  as  well  as  their  treatment, 
for  knowledge  of  the  causes  should  lead  to  their  avoidance.  The  ounce 
of  prevention  is  always  better  than  the  pound  of  cure.  The  ordinary 
owner  should  only,  attempt  to  deal  with  the  less  serious  ailments  that 
afflict  horseflesh  ;  when  any  threatening  complications  arise  a  veterinary 
surgeon  should  be  sunmioued.  No  surgical  operations  are  des-  ribed  in 
the  pages  that  follow,  because  all  such  should  be  attempted  only  by  per- 
sons skilled  in  horse-surgery,  and  never  by  persons  whose  qualifications 
are  that  they  have  read  how  an  <  peration  should  be  performed.  At  the 
end  of  tlie  treatise  on  the  'Common  Ailments  of  the  Horse"  will  be 
found  the  manner  of  preparing  some  excellent  articles  of  diet  for  sick 

hor.scs. 

AdiiHnisferinffMediciiie— Medicine  is  generally  administered  to 
a  horse  either  by  making  it  up  in  the  form  of  a  ball  or  by  giving  a 
drench ;  that  is,  giving  the  medicine  in  a  liquid  form,  in  which  case  a 
dn-nching-liorn  is  used. 

To  Adininlster  a  lialL—'VuTu  the  animal  round  in  the  stall  .so  as 
to  bring  his  head  to  the  light,  making  the  least  possible  fuss  or  noise. 
Stand  on  a  stool  on  the  off  side  ;  gently  put  your  hand  in  the  horses 
mouth  and  draw  the  tongue  a  little  out  ;  place  the  fingers  of  the  left 
hand  over  the  tongue,  and  keep  it  firmly  in  this  position  by  pressure  against 
the  jaw— not  holding  the  tongue  by  itself,  as  a  restless  horse,  by  sudden- 
ly drawing  back  or  sideways  while  his  tongue  is  tightly  held,  may 
fieiiouslv  injure  himself.  The  ball  should  be  oiled,  that  it  may  slip 
down  the  throat  easily.  Take  it  between  the  tips  of  the  fingers  of  the 
right  liand,  and,  making  the  hand  as  small  as  possible,  pass  the  ball  up 
Die  mouth  by  the  roof  to  avoid  injury  of  the  teeth.  When  the  ball  is 
landed  well  upon  the  root  of  the  tongue,  withdraw  the  rigiit  hand,  and 
EB  Boon  as  it  is  out  of  the  mouth  release  the  tongue,  which  will  help  the 
ball  down.     Have  a  warm  drink  ready  to  give  just  after  the  ball  is  take^ . 

7V>  fih^r  it  Diwncli. — Turn  the  animal  as  in  giving  a  ball.  The 
drenchiiig-horn  is  best  made  of  a  cow's  horn,  the  larger  end  of  which  is 
stopped  uj).  A  glass  bottle  should  never  be  used.  Pour  in  .the  liquid  at 
the  narrow  end  of  the  horn,  the  circular  mouth  of  which  should  be  an 
Inch  in  diameter.     The  operator  should  have  an  assistant ;  both  should 


MISCELLANEOUS  DEPARTMENT.         135 

be  tall  or  else  should  stand  on  firm  stools.  The  assistant  should  raise 
the  horse's  head  till  his  mouth  is  above  the  level  of  his  forehead,  and 
keep  it  steadily  in  that  position  while  the  drench  is  being  given.  The 
operator,  standing  on  the  off  side  and  taking  the  wide  end  of  the  horn  in 
his  right  hand,  can  steady  and  assist  himself  by  holding  the  upper  jaw 
with  his  left,  and  leaving  the  tongue  at  liberty,  he  discharges  the  drench 
below  the  root  of  the  tongue  if  possible  The  drenching-horn  should 
always  be  cleaned  after  use. 

The  horse's  pulse  is  easily  found  by  placing  the  two  forefingers  under 
the  middle  of  the  horse's  jowl  or  cheek-bone.  A  horse's  pulse  when  in 
good  condition  beats  from  about  thirty-two  to  thirty-eight  pulsations 
per  minute.     The  smaller  the  horse  the  faster  is  his  pulse. 

Hog  Spavin.— This,  caused  by  brutality  of  some  kind — by  abuse  of 
the  whip,  spur,  or  bit,  which  causes  repeated  shocks  to  the  limb.  It  re- 
sembles wind-galls,  though  situated  in  a  different  locality,  and  is  also 
liable  to  the  same  changes.  It  is  evidenced  by  a  puffy  swelling  at  the 
front  and  at  the  upper  part  of  the  hock.  Rest  and  a  little  sweating 
blister  or  pressure  maintained  by  means  of  an  India-rubber  bandage  are 
perhaps  the  best  tieatment. 

Hots. — A  horse  is  liable  to  be  troubled  with  the  e  parasites  after 
having  been  turned  out  to  graze  in  summer.  These  pests  are  the 
progeny  of  the  gadti\',  wliich  hovers  around  horses  while  out  at  grass  in 
summer  and  alights,  and  deposits  its  eggs  on  the  hair  of  the  horse,  especi- 
ally about  the  shoulders  and  fore  legs.  The  horse  licks  off  the  eggs  and 
swallows  them,  when  thelarve  stick  to  the  coats  of  the  stomach,  and  are 
known  as  hots.  These  ultimately  release  their  grasp  and  are  ejected 
naturally,  but  during  tlie  months  that  they  remain  in  the  stomach  they 
often  impair  digestion  and  appetite  and  occasion  much  weakness. 

Whenever  a  horse  is  running  at  grass  his  skin  should  be  scanned 
carefullj'  once  a  day,  and  the  eggs  of  these  gaaflies,  if  found,  should  be 
washed  off  with  hot  water  and  washing  soda.  Occasional  diarrhoea, 
capricious  appetite,  and  loss  of  flesh  are  indications  of  bots,  or  they  are 
often  passed  in  the  dung.  There  is  no  remedy  for  bots.  In  the  course 
of  a  year  the  parasites  will  be  ejected  naturally. 

Broken  Wind. — Broken  wind  is  a  disorder  of  slow  growth,  and  may 
be  caused  by  any  abuse  ;  it  is  often  the  result  of  carelesness  in  feeding  and 
exercise.  The  h'U'se  is  allowed  lo  eat  too  much  hay  or  straw,  or  food  of 
gi'eat  bulk  containing  little  nutriment,  and  the  lungs  are  squeezed  into 
less  than  the  natural  compass.  If  \he  horse  be  suddenly  exercised  more 
blood  must  be  purified,  and  as  a  consequence  some  of  the  cells  give  way 
and  broken  wind  is  established  ;  old  age,  prolonged  work,  and  bad  food 
are  its  usual  generators.  Its  symiitoms  are  a  short,  dry,  hacking  cough, 
greedy  appetite,  insatiable  thirst,  and  abundant  flatus.    The  food  is  but 


136         MISCELLANEOUS  DEPARTMENT. 

half  digested,  the  belly  is  ptiidulous,  the  coat  ragged,  and  the  :i.s]iecl  de- 
jected. Respiration  is  performed  by  a  triple  effort ;  inspiration  is 
spasmodic  and  single ;  expiration  is  labored  and  double. 

Prevention  is  easy  for  broken  wind,  but  cure  is  impossible.  The 
utmost  that  can  be  done  is  to  relieve  the  distress.  Water  should  never 
be  given  except  at  stated  times,  and  never  immediately  befoie  work. 
Four  half-pails  may  be  allowed  per  diem— one  the  first  thing  in  the 
morning,  another  the  last  thing  at  night,  and  the  other  two  at  convenient 
times  during  the  day.  In  every  drink  of  water  it  is  likewise  well  to 
mingle  half  an  ounce  of  dilute  phosporic  acid  or  half  a  druehm  of  ililule 

sulphuric  acid. 

Allow  oats  and  beans,  five  feeds  each  day,  Avith  only  five  pounds  of 
liay— two  pounds  in  the  morning  when  eing  dressed,  and  the  remainder 
in  the  rack  at  night.  Crush  the  oats  and  beans  ;  thoroughly  damp  all 
the  food  before  it  is  presented  to  the  horse,  and  also  scald  the  corn. 

Remove  all  bed  by  day,  and  muzzle  when  littered  down  for  the  night.. 
Place  a  lump  of  rock-salt  at  one  end  of  the  manger,  and  at  the^  other  put 
a  block  of  chalk. 

A  horse  afllicted  with  broken  wind  should  never  be  pushed  hard  oi' 
called  upon  for  any  extraordinary  exertion,  otherwise  death  may 
speedily  ensue. 

So  much  for  the  alleviation  of  the  disease  after  it  has  been  contracted; 
may  be  well  to  give  a  few  directions  for  the  ounce  of  prevention  or  how 
to  avoid  this  scourge  ;  (1)  Never  drive  the  horse  from  the  shelter  of  the 
stable  to  the  exposure  of  the  field.  (2)  Never  turn  the  steed  which  has 
thriven  upon  prepared  food  to  the  starvation  of  a  "run  at  grass"  or  the 
rankness  of  the  "straw-yard  "  (3)  Never  for  the  sake  of  cheapness  buy 
damaged  provender.  (4)  Never  load  a  famishing  stomach.  (5)  Be  at- 
tentive that  the  times  of  watering  are  rigidly  observed.  (6)  Never  suffer 
the  animal  to  ([uit  the  stable  soon  after  it  has  drank  or  eaten.  (7)  Be  ver}^  at- 
tentive to  all  coughs  ;  accustom  yourself  to  the  sound  of  the  healthy 
horse's  windpipe,  that  when  tlie  slighest  change  of  noise  indicates  the 
smallest  change  of  structure  you  may  be  prepared  to  recognize  and  to 
meet  the  enemy  before  disease  has  had  time  to  fix  upon  the  membrane. 
Cold. — A  mild  cold,  with  care,  is  readily  alleviated.  A  few  mashes, 
a  little  green  food,  an  extra  rug,  and  a  day  or  two  of  rest  will  generally 
cure  a  mild  cold.  Wlicn  the  attack  is  more  severe  the  horse  is  dull  ; 
the  coat  is  rough  ;  tlie  body  is  of  unequal  temperature,  hot  in  parts,  in 
places  icy  cold.  The  membrane  of  the  nose  at  first  is  dry  and  pale  or 
lead-colr)red  ;  the  facial  sinuses  are  clogged  ;  the  appetite  has  fled  ;  often 
tears  trickle  from  the  eyes,  and  a  di.scliarge  from  the  nose  appears. 

Treat tH4'nt. — The  horse  should  be  comlortably  and  warmly  housed, 
should  have  an  ample  bed,  and  the  body  should  be  plentifully  clothed. 


MISCELLANEOUS  DEPARTMENT.         137 

A  hair-bag,  half  a*^  long  and  half  as  wide  again  as  the  ordinary  nose-bag. 
should  be  buckled  b}-  a  broad  strap  upon  tlie  horse's  head  ;  into  this  bag 
should  bo  previously  inserted  one  gallon  of  yellow  deal  sawdust  ;  upon 
the  sawdust,  through  an  opening  guarded  with  a  flap  on  the  side  ot  the 
big.  should  beemptied  a  kettle  of  boiling  water,  tbe  superfluity  of  which 
may  run  or  drain  through  the  hair  composing  the  bag. 

The  boiling  water  should  be  renewed  every  twenty  minutes,  and  tlie 
bag  should  be  retained  upon  the  head  for  an  hour  each  time.  Should 
yellow  deal  sawdust  be  not  obtainable,  some  of  common  deal  will  do, 
upon  which  pour  an  ounce  of  spirits  of  turpentine.  Mix  well  and  thor- 
oughly before  applying  tlie  i'ag  to  the  head.  If  tiie  horse  is  weak  p.nd 
the  weight  of  the  bag  taxes  his  strength  place  the  bag  upon  a  chair  or 
stool. 

While  tlie  membrane  is  dry  use  the  .steaming  bag  .six  times  daily. 
When  a  copious  stream  of  pus  flows  from  the  nose,  its  application  three 
times  daily  will  be  sufficient.  The  food  should  consLst  of  gras.?  with 
mashes,  to  regulate  the  bowels  and  subdue  the  attendant  fever.  Ko 
medit^ne  should  be  given,  but,  the  discharge  being  established,  three 
daily  feeds  of  crushed  and  scalded  oats,  with  a  few  broken  beans  added 
to  them,  will  do  no  harm  Should  the  weakness  be  great  a  couple  of 
pots  of  stout — one  pot  at  night  and  the  other  at  morning — will  be  bene- 
ficial. Good  nursing,  a  loose  box,  fresh  air,  warmth,  and  not  even  ex- 
ereise  till  the  disorder  abates,  are  also  to  be  commended.  Afterward 
take  to  full  work  with  caution  as  much  debility  is  apt  to  ensue  upon 
severe  cold.  A  cold  often  ushers  in  other  and  more  dangerous  diseases. 
The  original  ailment  should  then  be  disregarded,  and  those  measures 
should  be  taken  requisite  to  relieve  the  more  important  affection. 

Colk. — Spasmodic  colic,  fret,  gripes  are  names  for  the  same  illness. 
Spasmodic  colic  is  caused  by  fast  driving,  change  of  water,  change  of 
food,  getting  wet,  fatigueing  journeys,  aloes,  or  often  no  cau.se  can  be 
traced. 

Symptoms. — First  stage  :  While  tiie  horse  is  feeding  he  brtiomes  un- 
ea.sy  and  ceases  to  eat ;  his  hind  foot  is  raised  to  strike  the  belly  ;  lore 
foot  paws  the  pavement ;  the  nose  is  turned  toward  the  flank,  and  an 
uttack  of  fret  is  recognized.  Second  stage  :  While  the  hor.<-e  is  being 
watched  every  indication  of  disturbance  may  disappear.  His  coun'en- 
ance  grows  tranc[uil,  and  the  nose  is  again  inserted  in  the  manger  ;  bit 
in  a  few  minutes  the  pangs  are  renewed.  The  animal  has  thus  alternate 
fits  of  pain  and  then  ease,  but  the  intervals  of  freedom  from  pain  grow 
shorter,  while  the  attacks  grow  longer;  the  horse  crouches,  turns 
round,  then  becomes  erect ;  pawing  and  striking  at  the  abdomen  quick- 
ly follow  ;  a  morbia  fire  lights  up  his  eyes.  Third  stage:  If  no  relief  is

become  shorter  ;  action  becomes  more  wild  ;  often  one   foot  stamps  on

the  oTound  :  the  animal  does  not  feed,  but  stares  at  the  abdomen  ;  at 
length  without  warninii;,  he  leaps  up  and  falls  violently  on  the  floor ; 
veems  relieved;  rolls  about  till  one  leg  rests  against  the  wall;  should 
no  assistance  be  now^  afforded  the  worst  consequei  ces  may  ensue. 

7rm<?nc?i<.— Place,  if  possible,  in  a  loose  box,  guarded  by  trusses  of 
straw  ranged  against  the  walls.  Give  one  ounce  each  of  sulphuric  ether 
and  of  laudanum  in  a  pint  of  cold  water,  and  repeat  the  dose  every  ten 
minutes  if  the  symptoms  do  not  abate.  If  no  improvement  be  observed 
double  the  active  agents,  and  at  the  periods  stated  perseverL-  with  the 
medicine,  A  pint  of  turpentine,  dissolved  in  a  quart  of  ^olution  of  soap 
as  an  enema,  has  done  good.  If  after  this  the  horse's  condition  does 
not  improve,  dilute  some  strong  liquor  ammonia  with  six  times  its  bulk 
of  water,  and,  saturating  a  cloth  with  the  fluid,  hold  it  by  means  of  a 
norsc-rug  close  to  the  abdomen.  It  is  a  blister,  but  its  action  must  be 
watched  or  it  may  dissolve  the  skin.  If,  after  all,  the  symptoms  continue 
there  must  be  more  than  simple  colic  to  contend  with,  and  a  veterinary 
surgeon  had  better  be  summoned.  ^ 

Flauleni  or  Windy  Colic  sometimes  arises  from  gorging  on  green  foo^, 
but  the  more  common  cause  is  impaired  digestion  consequent  upon 
severe  labor  and  old  age.  It  is  evidenced  by  uneasiness  after  feeding, 
hanging  of  the  head,  laborious  breathing;  the  belly  begins  to  swell  and 
the  animal  paws,  but  mon^  slowly  and  inertly  than  in  spasmodic  colic  ; 
the  eye  is  sleepy,  and  wind  passes  frequently  from  the  '>ody.  When 
sucli  a  case  occurs  a  veterinary  surgeon  should  be  sent  for  at  once  ; 
meanwhile  a  ball  composed  of  two  drachms  of  sulphuret  of  auunonia, 
with  a  ^ufliciency  of  extract  of  gentian  and  powd'^red  quassia,  may  be 
admin'stered,  and  be  repeated  for  two  consecutive  h  df  hours  should 
the  surgeon  no:  yet  have  appi^ared. 

Corns.-  Corns  generally  result  from  imperfect   shoeing.     The  shoe  i 
fither  too  tight  or  il  is  nsiiled  too  near  the  heel.     The  sole   should   be 
kept  well  pared  and  dressed  with  tar.     Should  the  corns  suppurate,  hot 
linseed  poultice  should  lie  appli(,'d,  and  the  horse  be   allowed   to  rest. 
Corns  must  often  be  treated  with  tlie  knife. 

Cracked  Iketf<.— This  allection  is  generally  caused  by  cutting  the  hair 
from  the  heels  or  by  wet,  iiiiid,  neglect  of  cleanliness,  or  sometimos  by 
too  little  work  and  over-feed  :  it  is  g-nerally  peculiar  to  the  cold  and 
wet  months  of  the  year.  Tiie  animal  should  rest,  at  all  events  until  the 
pints  are  improved.  The  heels  should  be  washed  with  tepid  water  and 
mild  soap,  and  thoroughly  dried  ;  tiien  the  following  wash  should  be 
applied : 

Animal  glycerine  i  pint 

Cliloride  of /.inc  '2  drachms. 

Htrong  solution  of  oak  bark    1  i)int. 

Dissolve  the  xinc  in  water,  then  mix,  and  use  thrice  daily. 


MISCELLANEOUS  DEPARTMENT.        139 

If  sloughing  and  ulceration  have  set  in,  the  animal  should  be  allowed 
complete  rest,  and  not  be  taken  out  even  for  exercise  until  the  ulcera- 
tion is  arrested.  A  few  bran  mashes  or  a  little  cut  grass  should  be 
given  to  open  the  bowels,  and  the  following  should  be  applied  to  the 
he  -Is ; 

Aiiimalglycerin  or  phosphonc  acid  2  ounces. 

Permanganate  of  potash  or  creasote  i  ounce. 

Water  2  ounces. 

]\Iix,  and  apply  six  times  daily. 

When  the  ulceration  is  arrested  the  first  recipe  should  be  again  re- 
sorted to,  and  the  latter  one  discarded.  A  drink  each  night  of  the  fol- 
lowing mixture  should  be  given  : 

Liquor  arsenicalis  ^  ounce. 

Tincture  ot  the  muriate  of  iron  1  ounce. 

Water  |  pint. 

This  acts  directly  upon  the  skin,  and  is  an  excellent  tonic  for  the  general 

system. 

In  all  affections  whatever  of  the  legs,  where  the  skin  is  broken,  the 
ground  on  which  the  horse  stands  must  be  kept  free  from  his  evacua- 
tions and  as  dry  and  warm  as  possible. 

Crib-Biting. — This  habit,  which  one  horse  seems  often  to  acquire 
from  another,  is  often  occasioned  by  bad  ventilation,  by  indigestion,  and 
sometimes  by  sameness  of  food.  To  cure  it,  the  ventilation  ot  the  stable 
should  be  the  first  thing  attended  to.  Place  a  lump  of  rock-salt  in  the 
manger  ;  if  that  is  not  successful,  add  a  lump  of  chalk  If  these  means 
are  unavailing,  alwnys  dampen  the  food,  and  at  time  of  feeding  sprinkle 
magnesia  u]ion  it.  and  mingle  a  hamlful  of  ground  oak-bark  with  each 
feed  of  corn.  Sometimes  the  habit  may  be  broken  by  placing  a  piece  of 
sheep-skin  over  the  manger  and  sprinkling  it  with  pepper. 

Curb. — Curb  consists  of  an  enlargement,  or  gradual  bulging  out,  of 
the  posterior  of  the  hock  ;  it  is  accompanied  by  heat  and  pain,  and  often 
by  lameness.  It  is  caused  by  galloping  on  uneven  ground,  wrenching 
the  limb,  prancing,  etc.  It  is  a  great  mistake  to  blister  the  horse  as  soon 
as  a  curb  appears,  which  is  often  done,  but  results  always  in  harm.  Tha 
horse  should  have  a  high-heeled  shoe  put  upon  him  at  once.  The  part 
should  then  be  kept  constantly  wet  with  cold  water  to  lower  the  in- 
flammation. A  cloth  doubled  two  or  three  times  is  easily  kept  upon  the 
hock  by  means  of  an  Indian-rubber  bandage.  This  cloth  is  to  be  kept 
cool  and  wet.  The  animal  'should  be  kept  quiet  under  this  treatment 
until  the  heat  and  swelling  are  diminished  and  the  leg  is  almost  sound  ; 
then  a  blister  should  be  rubbed  all  over  the  joint. 

Coufjh. — Cough  is  a  symptom  of  many  and  very  diverse  forms  of 
disease.  It  may  arise  from  a  trivial  cause,  or  it  may  be  the  attendant  of 
some  of  the  worst  forms  of  disease  that  horseflesh  is  heir  to.  Broken  wind 


140         MISCELLANEOUS  DEPARTMENT. 

roaring,  chronic  diseases  of  the  stomach,  bowels,  ami  lungs,  etc.,  are  all 
attendetl  by  cough,  which  is  more  frequently  present  as  a  symptom  thars 
a  disease.  Cougli  as  a  distinct  alTection  is  fre(juenlly  caus*'(l  by  un- 
healthy lodging  :  hot  stables,  coarse  and  dusty  provender,  rank  bedding, 
and  irregular  work  are  its  general  provocatives 

To  cure  a  chronic  cough  care  must  be  taken,  in  tiit-  tirst  i>)ace,  that 
the  stable  air  is  pure.  The  human  nose  is  a  good  test  of  atmosphere  ; 
the  stable  should  not  smell  of  horses  nor  of  any  taint  whatever.  If  the 
veutilaiion  is  good,  the  drainage  clear,  and  the  bedding  clean,  thu  interi- 
or ot  the  stable  will  be  odorless.  Indeed  the  stable  should  always  be  in 
this  condition  be  the  hor.se  sick  or  well.  The  oats  given  to  a  horse  with 
chronic  cougli  should  be  .scalded  and  crushed,  the  bay  should  be  damp- 
ened, and  thin  gruel  or  lin.seed  tea  should  be  given  for  drink.  The  horse 
should  be  clothed  warmly,  and  given  a  half  a  pint  of  the  following  mix- 
ture in  a  tumbler  of  cold  water  three  times  dailj' : 

Extract  of  belladonna,  rubbed  down  in  a  pint  of  water     I  drab'. 

Tincture  of  squills  10  ounces. 

Tincture  of  ipecacuanha  8  ounces. 

Mix  tlie  abo'-e. 

If  no  beneficial  change  be  witnessed,  try  the  subjoineil  : 

Barbadoes  tar  or  common  tar  if  none  other  be  at  hand  i  oimce. 

(.'alomel  5  grains. 

Linseed  meal  A  sutticiency. 

Mix,  and  give  as  one  ball  night  and  morning. 

Should  no  improvement  result,  the  next  may  be  substituted  ; 

Powdered  aloes  1  drachm. 

Balsam  of  copaiba  ;5  drachms. 

l>it<ti'm}U'i'  (Strangles). — This  form  of  sore  tliroat  is  characterized 
by  swelling  between  the  bones  of  the  lower  jaw,  which  terminates  in 
an  abscess. 

Cauxe. — A  specific  poison  in  the  blood,  which  but  few  lior.-cs  escape. 

1  refitment. — The  opinions  of  dllTerent  veterinarians  vary  in  regard  to 
the  treatment,  some  recommending  poultices,  while  others  forbid  it, 
etc.,  but  the  following  i)lan  is  undoubtedly  as  good  one  as  any  : 

Give  gras<  or  soft  feed,  and  proe\ire  a  good  powder.  If  thought  best 
'to  do  anything  to  hasten  the  suj)i)nration,  apply  warm  jioiiltices,  or 
some  like  blistering.  The  appetite  will  return  when  tlie  abscess  breaks 
or  is  opened. 

J-]piz<ntti4'. — This  di.sease  attacks  many  animals  at  the  same  time,  and 
originates  in  one  common  cause;  but  just  what  this  cause  may  be,  it  is 
very  difllcult  to  ascertain ;  yet  it  is  evident  that  ii  is  from  a  mia.smatic 
influence,  which  has  a  tendency  to  spread  rapidly  over  the  country. 

Symptoum. — The  attack  is  abrupt.  There  is  debility,  stupor,  eyes 
half-closed,  disinclination  to  move,  cracking  joints,  aeticieut  appetite.

mouth  hot  constipation,  urine  liigh-cf)loied  and  scanty,  pulse  weak  and 
a  little  faster  than  normal,  deep,  painful  cough,  trembling  at  times,  hair 
rough,  limbs  :md  ears  are  alternately  hot  and  cold. 

Soon  there  is  a  discharge  from  the  nose  of  white,  yellowish,  or  green 
ish  matter,  and  the  liorse  niav  recovei',  T)r  complications  may  arise  which 
are  liable  to  cause  death. 

Treatment. — Give  the  horse  a  good  comfortable  place,  with  good  care, 
and  a  good  warm  blanket.    Give  bran  mashes  and  other  proper  nourish 
ment,  and  then  give  some  g<»od  powders,  and  continue  their  use  freely 
until  the  horse  i^  fully  convalescent. 

Cautian. — Do  not  leave  liorses  sick  with  this  disease  without  auy 
extra  care,  or  without  proper  medical  treatment,  for  two  reasons:  first, 
it  is  cruel  and  irdunuan  ;  and  second,  it  is  not  profitable;  for  the  ca.ses 
which  arc  left  to  themselves  are  very  liable  to  have  some  complications 
arise  which  will  either  cause  death  or  leave  the  horse  in  bad  condition, 
from  which  he  may  not  recover  for  a  long  time,  and  perhap-^  never. 

IHarrhii'd — Diairha'a  is  evidenced  by  the  frequent  passage  'of  watery 
stools.  Itds  caused  by  acrid  matter  in  the  intestines,  over-succulent 
food,  too  much  water,  clirmge  of  dry  to  succulent  food,  wor.dug  in  the 
hot  sun.  mental  excitement  as  seen  at  the  covertsidr-,  an  overdraught  of 
cold  water  whilst  h<;Mled. 

JrejUinent. — As  tlir  bowel  movements  are  very  active  during  waking 
hours,  and  still  more  sd  during  exertion,  whilst  during  rest,  and  especial 
ly  during  sleep,  their  movenients  are  least,  care  should  be  taken  to  keep 
the  hors  ■  (piiet  and  in  as  drowsy  a  state  as  possible.  All  coarse  succu- 
lent food,  such  as  the  grren  food  of  summer,  should  be  avoided,  and 
small  (piantities  of  good  sound  hay,  well-made  grnel,  saiallmalt  mashes 
mixed  with  a  handl'ul  of  oats  only,  should  be  fed  to  the  horse. •  The 
following  is  an  excellent  remedy  fur  diarih(ea: 

Haw  lin.seed  oil  ]<)  omices. 

Oil  ot  turpentine  2  ounces. 

Tincture  of  opium  (laudanum)  1  ounce 

Shake  well  together  and  give  as  a  draught. 

Some  horses  are  subject  to  repeated  attacks  of  diarrhu3a.  In  them 
the  bowels  are  'ver-sensative,  and  they  are  extremely  dificult  to  keep  in 
condition.     Dieting  is  the  only  thing  for  tliem. 

Founder  (Laminitis): — This  disease  is  intlanunation  of  the  sensitive 
lamina'  of  the  fooi.  of  wiiich  there  are  two  kinds,  acute  and  chronic,  the 
latter  U^iiig  a  continuation  of  the  former.  The  acute  form  is  invariably 
cured,  if  properly  treated,  but  the  chronic  f<^rm  is  generally  considered 
incurable;  it  can  be  relieved  very  much,  but  the  feet  are  always  after- 
wards sore  and  tender  in  front. 

Cause. — Allowing  to  drink  cold   water,  when  overheated  and  tired 


142  MISCELLANEOUS  DEPARTMENT. 

Irom  overwork,  standing  in  the  cold  air  (or  where  the  wind  will  strike 
the  horse)  while  warm,  driving  through  a  stream  of  water  while  warm, 
long  and  hard  drives  ovei'  dry  roads,  etc. 

Symptomtt. — The  horse  will  stand  upon  his  heels,  with  fore  feet  and 
legs  stretched  out  as  far  as  he  can  get  them,  so  as  to  throw  the  weight 
off  as  much  as  jiossible;  and  he  can  scarcely  be  made  to  move.  The 
horse  has  fever  and  considerable  constitutional  disturbance,  in  the  acute 
form  of  the  disease. 

Trmiment  {of  a^ntU  founder). — Give  the  horse  a  good  bedding  of  straw, 
in  a  large,  well-ventilated  stall,  so  as  to  encourge  him  to  lie  down, 
wliich,  by  removing  the  weight  from  the  inflamed  parts,  will  relieve  his 
suflferings  very  much,  and  assist  in  hastening  the  cure.  As  soon  as  his 
bed  is  fixed,  give  him  twenty  drops  of  the  tincture  of  aconite  root  in  a 
half-pint  of  cold  water,  poured  into  his  mouth  with  a  bottle,  haVing  a 
strong  neck  and  repeat  this  dose  every  four  hours  until  six  or  eight 
do'^es  have  been  given.  Also  apply  a  cloth  wet  in  ice  water  to  the  feel, 
and  keep  wet  with  the  same  for  several  hours,  until  the  severe  pain  has 
been  relieved.  Wet  the  cloths  often,  and  continue  for  two  or  three 
days,  or  longer  if  necessary.  Give  plenty  of  cold  water  to  drink.  The 
above  tr<Mtment  siiould  be  adopted  as  soon  as  possible  after  the  horse 
has  been  attacked  with  founder.  Let  the  horse  have  rest  until  he  has 
fully  recovered.  Give  grass  or  mashes  for  two  or  three  days,  and  then 
give  a  good  and  fair  amount  of  feed. 

fr/rtm/^j'.x.— This  disease  is  usually  occasioned  by  vitiated  aii'— thai 
is,  by  bad  stabling— stimulating  food,  and  excessive  work  operating 
ujion  the  young  horse.  Youth  and  high  feeding,  together  with  excessive 
labor  and  damp  lodging,  will  certainly  ]jroduce  glanders.  Age,  slarva- 
lion,  and  ceaseless  toil  generally  induce  farcy.  The  glanders  and  the 
farcy  are  however,  oiif  .inii  the  same  disease,  modified  >)y  the  cause 
wliich  originates  tlieiii.  Ol.-uidt'rs  is  the  more  vigorous  form  of  the 
disorder;  farcy  is  liie  slow  type,  fastening  ujum  general  di^bility. 
Glanders  is  highly  infectious  and  may  be  conunuuicaled  hen-ditarily. 

When  glanders  exist  a  staring  coat  generally  shows  the  skin  U)  b« 
affected;  the  a])petite  is  l)ad  and  the  pulse  is  quickened.  A  mash  or  twoi 
however,  seems  to  set  things  all  right,  and  the  matter  is  forgotten. 
Soon  afterward  a  slight  discharge  may  issue  from  one  nostril,  but  it  is 
8o  very  slight  that  it  excites  no  ah'rm.  One  of  the  lymphatic  glands  on 
the  same  side  as  the  moist  nostril  alters  in  character.  It  may  remain 
loose  and  become  morbidly  sensitive.  Usually,  however,  it  grows 
adherent  to  the  jaw,  turns  hard,  iiih!  from  J)fing  wholly  imperceptible 
in  the  healthy  aniniiil  tidarges  to  about  the  size  of  half  a  chestnut.  At 
Ji  later  inriod  the  discharge,  retaining  its  clear  appearance,  bocomes 
in'»rf  con8i>»tont,  and  to  a  slight  degree  the  hain*  and  pai-t$  over  whisU  it.

flows  are  fcucrusted.  It  subsequently  adheres  to  the  margiu  of  the 
nostril,  and  then  in  the  tnuisparenl  aJbuminous  fluid  may  be  seen 
opaque  threads  of  white  mucus.  This  marks  the  second  stage.  The 
next  change  takes  place  more  rapidly.  The  transparent  fluid  en- 
tirely disappears,  and  in  its  place  is  seen  a  full  stream  of  un- 
wholesome pus.  At  this  time  there  is  some  danger  of  glanders 
being  mistaken  for  nasal  gleet.  A  little  attention  will  enable  a 
person,  Ixovvever,  to  distinguish  these  diseases.  The  smell  of  glanders  is 
peculiar.  It  is  less  pungent,  but  more  unwholesome,  suggesting  a  more 
deep  .seated  source,  than  chaiacterizes  the  disease  with  which  it  has 
b<!en  confounded.  The  ejection  of  glanders  mucus  is  obviously  impure, 
whereas  that  of  nasal  gleet  generally  flows  forth  in  a  fetid  stream  of 
thick  and  creamy  matter. 

When  the  third  stage  is  witnessed  the  disc  .se  is  rapidly  hurrying  to 
its  termination.  The  membrane  of  the  nose  changes  to  a  dull  leaden 
color.  The  margins  of  the  nostrils  become  dropsical,  and  every  breath 
is  drawn  with  difficulty.  The  defluxion  exhibits  discoloration.  Scabs, 
masses  of  bone  or  pieces  of  membrane  mingled  with  patches  of  blood 
next  inake  their  appearance,  and  the  internal  parts  are  evidently  broken 
up  t<y  the  violence  of  the  disorder. 

When  a  horse  is  suspected  of  being  affected  with  glanders  he  should 
be  examined  in  the  following   manner :  The  animal's  head  should  be 
turned  toward  the  strongest  light  obtainable  ;  if  toward  the  blaze  of  the 
noonday  suu,  so  much  the  better.   The  examiner  should  then  place  hhn- 
self  by  the  side  of  the  creature's  head   not  in  front,  but  in  a  situation 
where,  though  the  animal  should  snort,  he  is  in  no  danger  of  the  ejected 
matter  falling  upon  him.     With  one   hand  the  upper  and  outer  rim  of 
tile  nostril  .-should  be  raised ;  when  grasping  this  part  between  the  finger 
and  thumb  no  fear  need  be  entertained.     The  case  would  be  something 
more  than  suspicious  were  any  risk  of  contamination   incurred.     The 
wing  of  the  nostiil  being  raised,  the  examiner  must  note  the  appearances 
exposed;  this  he  will   best  do  by  knowin^  where  to  look  and  what  to 
expect.     His  eye  has  nothing   to   do  with  the  skin  nor  with  the  marks 
that  appear  upon  it     The  opening  of  the  lachrymal  duct  often  chal- 
lenges observation  by  being  well  defined  and  particularly  conspicuous; 
but  that  natural  development  does  not  concern  him ;  to  that  no  atten- 
tion must  be  given.     The  attention    must  be  concentrated  upon  the 
membrane  more  internally  situated  than  the  skin  seen  at  the  commence- 
ment of   the  nostrils.     The  skin,    moreover,    suddenly  ceases,  and  is 
obviously  defined  by  a  well-marked  margin  ;  there  is,  therefore,  no  difii- 
culty  in  distinguishing  the  membrane  by  its  fleshy  and  moistened  aspect, 
afi  well  as  by  its  situation.     It  on  this  membrane  any  irregular  or  ragged 
patches  are  qeaspicuoun,  if  these  patches  are  darker  toward  their  edges

part  ot  the  membrane,  after  being  wiped  witii  a  piece  of  tow  or  anytliing 
soft  wrapped  round  a  small  stick,  seem  rough  nr  have  evidently  beneath 
its  surface  certain  round  or  oval-shaped  bodies,  the  horse  is  assuredly 
glandered.  The  membrane;  maV  present  a  worm-eaten  appearance  or  be 
siniplv  of  a  discolored  and  heavy  hue.  In  the  tirst  case  the  animal 
ought  lo  be  eondenuled;  in  the  second  it  is  open  to  more  than  suspicion. 
No  animal  should  be  permitted  to  perish  slowly  of  glanders.  The 
di.sease  as  it  proceeds  all'ects  the  fauces,  pharynx,  and  Iwrnyx  ;  all  be- 
come ulcerated;  the  obstruction  olfercd  to  breathing  grows  more  and 
more  painful.  P^arcy  breaks  foi'th,  and  as  a  consecpieuce  superiieiai 
dropsy  is  aihled  to  the  other  torments.  The  edges  of  the  nostrils  en- 
large, tlie  merabrant!  lining  the  cavities  bags  out,  while  the  lances  and 
larnyx  contract  ;  the  dischaige  becomes  more  copious,  and  the  breathing 
is  impeded.  Ulti  alely  hd)orious  breathing  induces  congestion  f>f  the 
brain,  and  the  animal  dies  of  suffocation. 

Theie  is  no  cure  foi  glandi'rs.  The  disease  has  been  described  at

person  about  to  | mi  chase  a  Iiorse  maj^  avoid  buying  one  which  shows 
evidi-nce  of  this  terrible  disease  ;  and  also  that  when  an  owner  once  fully 
recognizes  the  ili.sease  in  his  horse,  he  may  kill  it  at  once.  Glanders  may 
be  comnuuiicated  to  human  beings,  so  that  besides  the  cruelty  of  allow-

lAiiuem'ss  r.ameness  shows  it.sclf  in  unevt  uness  of  gait  and  in 
unusual  altitudes  while  standing.  It  a»-ise,<?  from  structural  change, 
often  accompanied  by  inllammalion,  in  the  hard  and  soft  tissues.  In 
examining  horses  as  to  lameni'ss,  it  is  well  to  bear  in  ndnd  that  gener-

mind  llie  lun  ii  hcinu  |iarcil  away,  a^  a  horse  may  go  S'luiid  upon  a  very 
small  poitioii  of  lK>in.  If  I  he  scat  of  ihe  injury  is  ascertained,  always 
soak  tlie  f()f>t  in  waim  water  before  perniittinsj  the  final  use  of  the  knife. 
Tlie  water  should  i)e  al  70  deg.  Fahr.  when  the  foot  is  immer-ed,  and 
tlien  gradually  raised  to  1)0  (leg.,  at  which  temperature  it  should  be 
mninlained.  Tiie  water  clean-es  the  part,  favors  the  discharge  of  pus, 
lessens  the  inflanunjilory  action,  softens  the  anguish,  and  destroj'S  the 
harsh  character  of  the  dry  horn,  Aviiich  cuts  much  more  easily  when 
newly  released  from  the  bath. 

Lnrvm  in  the  Skin. — Larvfp  in  the  skin,  like  the  bots,  are  caught 
v\hile  out  at  grass.  Tiie  flies  lay  their  eggs  in  the  horse's  hair ;  these 
are  hatched,  and  the  larva  enters  the  skin.  The  next  summer  an  ab- 
sciss appears,  in  the  centre  of  which  is  the  insect.  The  best  treatment 
is  to  open  the  abscess  with  a  lancet,  and  then  with  finger  and  thumb 
applied  on  either  side  of  the  swelling  squeeze  out  the  larva.  The 
aliscess  lapidly  disappears,  and  to  close  tlie  wound  it  only  requires  a 
few  dabbings  with  a  lotion  made  of  chloride  of  zinc,  one  grain;  water, 
ne  ou  ce. 

Lice,  fleas,  and  ticks  may  i)e  got  rid  of  by  sponging  the  animal  night 
and  morning  witii  a  lotion  composed  of  one  part  of  carbolic  acid  to 
twenty  o!  w  ter.  Care  should  be  taken  to  wash  all  clothing  worn 
duiing  the  affection,  and  then  bake  it  Tu  an  oven  heated  to  at  least 
\~)0  deg.  Fahr.  Harness,  brushe-s,  etc.,  and  everything  that  has  come 
in  contact  with  the  si^in,  should  be  waslied  with  a  vermicide.  Hen- 
roosts, pigeon-houses-,  etc.,  should  not  be  allowed  in  the  immediate 
vicinity  of  the  stable,  as  fretiuently  the  lice  which  infest  the  stable  come 
from  the  chicken-liouse.  After  treating  a  horse  affected  with  lice  look 
for  other  diseases,  as  hidebound,  mange,  etc. 

jl/cmr/t'.— InsutFicieut  food,  bad  lodging,  no  grooming,  and  often 
turning  out  to  grass  are  the  causes  of  mange.  This  disease  is  highly 
contagious,  and  is  due  to  small  insects  burrowing  beneath  the  scurf 
ski  I  It  is  evidenced  by  scurf  about  the  hairs  of  the  mane  ;  thv  hair 
falls  off  ill  patches;  soros  and  crusts  appear;  and  the  horse  rubs  his 
body  against  posts,  etc.  The  principles  of  treatment  consist  in  remov- 
ing the  sciuf  skill,  oi-  as  much  of  it  as  possible,  and  then  applying  a 
ftressing  wiiich  will  kill  the  insects.  The  horse,  if  the  weather  permits, 
should  be  placed  in  the  sun  for  an  iiour,  or  in  some  warai  unoccupied 
place  if  the  weather  is  cold,  and  its  coat  should  then  be  thoroughly 
whisked  to  remove  scurf  and  incrustations;  after  this  the  following 
ointment  should  be  rulibeu  all  over  the  skin  from  the  tip  of  the  nose  to 
the  point  of  the  tail  .

Mix  all  lo.u:ethcr.  and  shake  well  before  using. 

About  one  and  a  half  pints  ol  this  mixture  is  the  general  quantity 
employed  for  o.  e  application.  Leave  the  mixture  on  for  two  full  days, 
and  then  vva-li  whh  soft  soap  and  warm  water.  Afterward  employ  the 
whisk  as  direeicd  before,  and  repeat  the  anointini>-  and  washing  as 
di  reeled. 

Anything  which  has  come  in  contact  with  a  mangy  horse  must  be 
cleansed  before  it  is  applied  to  any  other  horse  or  to  the  same  horse 
after  he  is  cured.  Heat,  of  an  oven  raised  to  l^^^)  deg.  is  the  best  means 
lor  killiuLi  the  parasites.  Such  things  as  cannot  be  ))laced  in  this  heat 
should  l)i'  well  washed  with  carbolic  soap  or  with  carbolic  acid  ai.d

Poll  Kvll. — Poll  evil  is  a  disease  mi>8t  common  among  agricultural 
horses.  It  consists  of  a  deep  abocess  situated  uij,on  the  upper  part  i,f 
the  neck,  at  its  junction  with  the  head  ;  this  abscess  ends  in  an  ulcerous 
sore  which  has  numerous  sinuses.  The  cause  of  p«)ll  evil  is  external 
injury  of  some  sort,  as  blows  upon  the  poll  while  going  imder  a  1  w 
dooi-\vay,  and  also  blows  from  heavj  'whip-shafls  often  administered  by 
brutal  and  careless  drivers,  or  chafing  of  collars,  especially  during  an 
irritable  ctmdition  of  the  skin. 

'IMie  animal  gives  evidence  of  this  disease  by  carrying  his  head  very 
.steadily  and  poking  his  nose  wut.  The  eidargement,  heat,  and  tender- 
ness on  i)ressure  ai«;  obvious  when  the  abscess  is  ripening.  The  an- 
guish attendant  upon  the  earlier  stages  of  this  disease  is  evidenced  by 
the  length  of  lime  the  horse  takes  to  empty  his  manger.  When  forced 
to  bend  his  head  toward  the  manger,  he  generally  hangs  back  to  the 
length  of  the  halter.  .Vt  this  stage  nothing  is^  apparent,  and  the  collar 
is  often  forced  ov(m-  the  iK^arl  regardless  of  the  struggles  of  the  diseased 
animal:  the  most  caritfiil  inspection  often  fails  to  detect  an  indication 
of  probable  enlargennuit.  Pressure  or  enforced  molitm  of  the  head  ex- 
cites resistHnce.  In  .some  cases  the  enlargement  becomes  prominent  in  a 
few  weeks;  in  utlicrs  it  is  never  well  developed:  the  latter  cases  are 
most  dillienlt  to  treat,  foi'  in  them  the  disorder  is  most  deeply  ^ealevi. 

In  cxaininiug  for  susjtccled  poll  evil  place  the  fingers  lightly  on  the 
part,  and  let  them  remain  there  milil  the  fear  excited  by  a  touch  upon  a 
lender  place  has  subsided.  Then,  and  not  till  then,  gradually  introduce 
presstire.  The  more  superlicial  the  injury  the  more  spe(Hly  will  be  the 
r<!H|ii)iise.  In  any  case,  little  good  can  be  accomplished  by  mild  applica- 
tions of  lomentatious  oi-  poultices.  The  seat  of  the  supposed  hurt 
shoidd  be  lightly  ijainted  with  spirituous  or  acetous  tincture  of  cantha- 
iider>;  this  should  be  done  daily  until  copious  irritation  is  produced,  and 
before  that  dies  away  repeat  the  dressing.     The  soreness  should  be  kept

up,  but  no  more.  The  tincture  should  not  he  applied  upon  active  vesi- 
cation, otherwi'^e  a  foul  sore  maj'  result.  The  poll  should  be  made 
painful  merel.y.     The  liead  should  be  kept  perfectly  quiet. 

As  soon  as  the  swelliiiii-  appears,  watch  it  attentively,  and  wlien  some 
particular  spot  points  or  is  softer  or  more  piominent  than  the  surround- 
ing substance,  call  in  the  aid  of  a  surgeon,  for  the  knife  uuist  be  used, 
and  used  skilfully.  After  tlie  operation  rub  the  sides  of  the  wound  with 
lunar  caustic.  The  sore  should  be  thoroughly  moistened  with  solution 
of  chloride  of  zinc,  one  grain  to  an  ounce  of  water,  and  a  rag  dipped  in 
a  solution  of  tar  should  be  placed  over  the  wound.  After  recovery  & 
collar  should  not  be  used  ;  a  breast-strap  is  far  preferable. 

Prick  of  the  Foot. —  When  shoeing  horses  a  blacksmith  will  often 
drive  a  nail  efther  loo  near  the  quick  or  actually  into  it,  or  a  nail  </ 
some  sharp-pointed  body  may  pierce  the  foot  while  the  horse  is  travel- 
ing. When  this  is  suspected  from  the  horse  showing  lameness,  the  foot 
sliould  be  squeezed  between  pincers  :  then  the  nails  from  the  shoe 
should  be  drawn  one  by  one,  and  examined  carefully  as  each  is  removed. 
If  one  ap]jears  moist  or  wet.  the  hole  of  that  nail  should  be  freely 
opened.  Let  the  shoe  be  replaced,  leaving  that  nail  out.  Pnt  a  little 
tow  covered  with  tar  ovei-  the  wound,  and  shoe  with  leather.  If  lame- 
ness i-;  still  present,  a  v(-trrinary  svu'geon  had  better  be  consulted. 

Jthu/b'Hie. — Ringbone  somewhat  resembles  splin'  and  spavin  :  these 
latter,  however,  generally  occur  in  horses  of  speed,  while  the  former  is 
almost  contined  to  the  cart-horse.  It  is  cau.sed  by  the  violent  efforts  the 
animal  makes  in  dragging  a  heavy  load  up  ;i  steep  hill.  It  is  evidenced 
bv  roughness  of  haii  on  the  pastern  and  a  bulging  forth  of  the  hoof;  a 
"want  of  power  lo  Hex  the  pa.slein  ;  an  innbility  to  bring  the  sole  to  the 
g)-onnil  upon  any  but  an  even  surface  ;  and  general  loss  of  power. 

When  a  horse  shows  ringbone  seek  to  allay  the  pain.  Apply  poultices 
U])on  which  one  drachm  of  powdered  opium  and  one  of  camphor  has 
been  .sprinkled.  Ruli  the  disea.sed  part  with  (?qual  parts  ol  oil  of  cam- 
phor and  of  chlordorni.  When  tlie  psdn  has  ceased,  aj>ply  with  friction 
to  the  seat  of  the  enlargement  and  aiound  it  »<ome  of  the  following  oint- 
ment night  and  moniing : 

Iodide  of  lead  1  ounce. 

Lard  8  ounces.     Mix. 

Continue  treatment  for  a  forinigiit  after  all  active  s3'mptoms  liave 
disappeared,  and  allow  liberal  Ibod  and  rest.  When  work  is  resumed 
let  it  be  gentle  at.  first,  and  be  very  careful  how  the  horse  goes  to  liis  fidl 
labor.

clothed  waimly,  fed  upon  green  food  for  a  couple  of  days,  and  always 
have  prefcnt  a  pail  of  thick,  well-made  gruel,  which  should  be  regularly 
changed  til ree  times,  daily.  Three  feeds  of  bruised  and  scalded  oats, 
with  a  handful  of  beans,  should  be  given  every  day.  If  the  bowels 
prove  o'  stinate,  and  after  the  second  day  remain  constipated,  the  fol- 
lowing drink  should  be  given  : 

S'^lution  of  aloes  4  ounces,

Should  the  throat  not  arniend,  dissolve  half  an  ounce  of  extract  of  bella-

150         MISCELLANEOUS  DEPARTMENT. 

Should  the  disease  not  yield,  but  remain  stationarr,  give  a  quart  of 
brewers'  stout  morning  and  evening.  If  no  chanjj^e  takes  place  in  t«"n 
days,  a  veterinary  surgeon  had  better  be  called  in. 

Spnvin. — Spavin  is  evidenced  by  any  bony  enlargement  upon  the 
lower  and  inner  side  of  the  ho<k.  The  leg  cannot  be  flexed  and  the 
hoof  is  hindered  from  being  fumed  outward  The  horse  leave's  the 
stable  limping,  but  returns  socmingly  improved  by  exercise.  Tlie  ff><  t 
is  dragged  along  the  ground  instead  of  lifted,  which  causes  the  front  of 
the  shoe  to  be  worn  to  a  state  of  positive  shai-pness  and  the  toe  of  the 
hoof  to  be  rendered  blunt.  When  the  bony  enlargement  is  located  high 
upon  thejoint  it  is  generally  incurable. 

Good  food  and  rest  aie  the  best  treatment  for  spavirt;  there  arc  vari- 
ous crufd  treatments,  such  as  firing,  punching,  etc.,  but  their  cfflciicy  is 
qtiestioned.  While  inflammation  exists,  apply  poultices  and  rub  the 
part  with  a  mi.xture  of  belladonna  and  opium  one  ounce  of  each 
rubbed  down  with  an  ounce  of  water ;  or  place  opium  and  camphor  oti 
the  poultices  ;  or  rub  tie  enlargement  with  equal  parts  of  chlorof<''rm 
and  camphorated  oil.  The  pain  and  heat  having  suicided,  apply  wifh 
friction  some  of  the  following  ointment  : 

Iodide  of  lead,  1  ounce. 

Simple  ointment,  8  ounces.    Mix. 

Splint. — Splints  are  very  commonly  met  witb,  especially  in  road- 
sters and  draught  horses.  Some  splints,  when  they  have  reached  their 
maturity,  cause  little  or  no  inconvenience.  All  are  p^inf-^1  •t'Cli pi';  grow- 
ing, and  in  that  state  generally  cause  lameness.  Any  swenirtjr  u]')f>n  tbt 
inner  :ind  lower  part  of  the  knee  of  the  fore  leg,  or  any  enlal-gfemeftt 
upon  the  shin-bone  of  oither  limb,  may  betaken  as  an  evidence  of  thife 
diseaHe.  On  the  shin  they  are  to  be  dreaded,  as  they  interfere  with  the 
movements  of  the  tendons.  In  feeling  down  the  leg,  any  heat,  tender 
ne-js  or  enlargement  is  proof  of  a  splint.  If,  on  the  trot,  one  leg  is  not 
fuily  flexed  or  the  horse  "dishes"  or  turns  the  leg  outward,  the  proof  is 
confirmed. 

TliNV  and  liberal  food  are  the  best  treatment  for  splint.s.  V/^hen  they 
arc  acutely  painful,  a  po\dtice  on  which  one  drachm  of  opium  and  one 
drachm  of  camphor  is  sprinkled  will  frequently  afford  relief.  They 
may  also  at  such  time«  be  rtibbed  with  a  drachm  of  cldoroform  com- 
bined with  two  drachms  of  camphorated  oil.  These  measuroB  aim 
merely  at  mitigating  the  symptoms.  Operations  tor  splints  are  dangei- 
ous  remedies,  though  sometimes  resorted  to. 

When  a  splint  interferes  with  a  tendon,  however,  the  only  chanc'e  of 
cure!  is  it)  au  Dperatiou.  This  requires  a  skillex.!  hand.  AtYer  the  opei-

taliiig  to  the  bone  sLouId  be  employed.    Splints  sometimes  occur  on  the 

outer  Bide  of  the  hiud  leg ;  these,  huwevei',  do  not  occasion  severe  Iftme- 

iiess,  and  are  not  worthy  of  much  notice.     The  following   ointment  is 

excellent  for  preventing  the  lurtUer  enlargement  of  a  splint : 

~  Iodide  of  lead,  1  ounce. 

Simple  ointment,  y  ounces. 

Mix  »n(l  apply  with  friction  three  times  daily. 

Sprain  of  tfie  Hack  Sinews, — Sprain  of  the  back  sinews  often 
occurs  in  driving  or  riding  hor-ses  over  uneven  ground  or  hilly  roads. 
Shatl'horaes  descending  a  steep  declivity  with  loads  behind  them  are 
very  liable  to  sprain  the  back  sinews.  Slight  sprains  may  be  treated  by 
bandaging  the  leg  with  linen  rather  tightly,  and  keeping  the  bandage 
conjiluntiy  wet  with  cold  water.  The  horse  should  be  allowed  to  rest, 
and  no  attempt  should  be  made  to  work  oft"  the  complaint.  The  horse 
should  not  be  put  to  work  until  more  than  recovered.  Bad  sprains  are 
Tery  serious  affairs,  and  operations  are  often  necessary.  These,  now- 
eyer,  never  fully  restore  the  horse. 

Staggers, — Mad  staggers  and  sleepy  staggers  represent  different 
sympiuiute  or  stages  of  the  same  disease.     Over-feeding  is  the  sole  cause 

giving  the  horse  considerably  more  at  any  meal  than  his  usual  allow- 
ance, especially  after  much  fatigue  or  a  prolonged  fast.  Eating  certain 
footls  sucIj  as  ripe  or  tast-ripening  rye-grass,  is  liable  to  bring  on  the 
staggers. 

The  Hr8t  symptons  are  the  sleepy  staggers.  The  horse  becomes  dull 
or  sleepy  ;  tue  head  hangs  downward  or  is  pressed  against  some  promi- 
nence ;  the  animal  snores  when  sleeping  ;  the  skin  is  cold  and  the  coat 
staring.  Some  animals  die  in  this  state.  The  advent  of  mad  staggers 
is  announcetl  by  a  raising  of  the  lid  and  sudden  brightening  of  the  eye ; 
the  breath  becomes  rapid  and  drawn,  with  a  panting  action.  The 
wliule  appearance  is  altered ;  the  evidences  of  approaching  frenzy  can 
hardly  be  mistaken. 

Ureatfmnt. — Allow  no  water.  Give  a  quart  of  any  oil.  Si.\  hours 
afterward  give  another  quart  of  oil,  with  twenty  drops  of  croton  oil  in  it, 
-should  no  improvement  be  noticed.  If  there  is  still  no  improvement 
within  another  six  houis,  repeat  the  oil  with  thirty  drops  of  croton  oil. 
Afler  a  further  six  hours  repeat  ihe  dose,  and  administer  the  succeeding 
doses  at  the  intervals  before  staled  until  the  altered  a.spect  of  the  horse 
indicates  that  the  distension  has  l>een  relieved.  Upon  the  slightest 
mitigation  ol  the  symptoms  stop  all  medicine  at  once. 

If  the  mad  stage  becomes  fully  developed  no  remedies  can  avail. 

HurfeU, — This  is  a  sudden  rash  or  a  quantity  of  heat-spots  bursting 
out  upon  the  skin,  which  are  round,  blunt,  and  slightly  elevated.  If 
the  pulse  is  not  affected,  the  lumps  may  disappear  in  a  few  horns.     The

dw-^t  should  bf  looked  lu.  Eiyht  pounds  of  hay  should  be  abstracted, 
and  a  couple  of  bundles  of  cut  i;mf>s  allowed  ])iiv  day.  A  liandful  of 
sound  old  crushed  beaui^  should  he  irivcii  witii  each  teed.  The  foUowiug 
drink  is  ot  service  :

^Vatcr,  1    quart. 

>Ii.\,  and  i^ive  once  daily,  one  point  for  a  dose.  '    " 

Should  the  iiorse  l)e  young  and  have  been,  neglected  thioughout  the 
winter,  a  surfeit  sonu-tiines  appears  which  i.s  of  a  different  ciiaracler. 
The  lumps  do  not  disappear,  but  an  exudation  escapes  fioni  the  centre 
of  each.  In  this  case  tlie  coiistitulion  is  involved,  and  if  not  attendo<l  U) 
thi' malady  is  apt  to  settle  upon  the  lungs.  Should  the  attack  assiuue 
this  appearance,  the  horse  should  not  be  taken  from  the  stable  even  for 
e.\ercise;  the  bed  should  be  kept  clean  and  the  stafjle  welj  ventilated. 
Feed  as  previously  directed,  and  give  bran  mashes  if  the  b(nyel9:3re  cou- 
slii)ated,  but  cease  to  give  them  when  the  constipation  is  removed. 
Adnunisler  the  drink  before  recommended  nigiit  and,  morning,  but 
should  the  appetite  .sutler  reduce  the  quantity  or  withhold  all  medicine. 
Clothe  warmly.  Should  the  pulse  suddenly  sink,  allow  two  ])ot,s  if 
stout  daily.  If  the  a))petitc  is  poor,  good  gruel  instead  of  water  should 
Ije  keiil  constantly  in  the  manger.  The  .shortest  .cases  of  this  alfecrf ion 
generally  last  a  tbrtnight,  duiing  which  time  tl)e  treatment  consists  in 
good  nursing  and  in  liberally  supporting  the  body. 

Sirollrit  />f:'f/.s.— Swollen  legs  mostly  occur  in  heavy  animals,  and 
have  a  tendency  to  partial  dropsy.  In  mild  cases  bandages  of  doth  or 
flaiuiel  wet  with  cold  water  afford  relief.  In  more  serious  cases  the 
horse  should  be  |)laced  in  a  large,  roomy  loose  box,  if  possible,  for 
nolliing  more  ([uickly  removes  this  affection  than  easy  and  natural 
motion.  Flay  should  not  be  fed  to  the  auinuU  for  some  weeks.  The 
corn  should  be  dami)ed  and  a  handful  of  ground  oak  bark  should  be 
sprinkled  on  each  U;i'i\.  Atten<l  partieidarly  to  e.xercising  the  horse. 
Siioulii  tiie  legs  continue  to  enlarge,  do  not  apply. the  ban  ages,  but 
hand-rub  the  limb  well  and  long. 

Th  rush.— Thin  di.'^ea.se  is  evidenced  by  a  thin  foul-swelling  discharge, 
appearing  in  the  cleft  of  the  frog.  Thrush  may  be  due  to  a  local  origin, 
as  stai.din!/  in  filih  in  III.'  st.ible,  or  it  may  be  caused  by  a  constitutional 
afTeclion.  Local  tlnudi  shows  itself  in  the  hind  foot,  and  constitutional 
iu  the  lore  lb<.i.  To  prev(;nl  local  trush  keep  the  stable  clean.  Clay, 
cow  dung,  and  other  tilth  cnq>lov<'d  for  stopping  the  horse's  feet -will 
produce  tlinish  it  loig  continued. 

If  liic  affection  has  a  local  origin,  place  the  foot  in  a, poultice  for 
tweuty-four  hours.     Afterward  cleanse  the  cleft  of  the  frog  by  see-saw- 


MISCELLANEOLS  DEPARTMENT.        163 

iug  :i  little  tow  or  soft  band  through  it ;  then  ram  a  little  calomel  and 
tow  down  to  the  bottom  ol  the  cleft  with  a  sharpened  piece  of  wood. 
t?hould  this  treatment  not  cure  the  trush,  take  ihe  horse  to  the  black- 
smith after  washing  the  feet  well  with  water  in  which  is  dissolved  chlo- 
ride of  zinc  in  the  proportion  of  two  scruples  to  the  pint.  When  he  has 
I)ared  iiway  the  frog  till  only  sound  horn  remain  or  the  flesh  is  exposed, 
the  shoe  should  be  tacked  on  and  the  horse  returned  to  a  clean  stall. 
Apply  chluride-of-zinc  lotion,  three  grains  to  an  ounce  of  water,  to  the 
cleft  of  the  Irog  by  means  of  some  tow  wrapped  round  a  small  piece  of 
Slick.  When  the  stench  has  ceased  a  little  liquor  of  lead  will  perfect  the 
cure. 

When  thrush  is  constitutional  it  is  best  to  have  the  ragged  thrush  and 
unsound  horn  removed.  Alterwai'd  dress  every  morning  with  the 
chlori(le-uI-ziuc  lotion.     Do  not  attempt  to  stop  the  thrush. 

Tread. — Fatigue  and  overweight  are  the  usual  causes  of  tread.  In 
ligiii  horses  it  occurs  toward  the  end  of  a  long  journey.  The  hind  foot 
is  not  removed  when  the  fore  foot  is  put  to  the  ground.  The  end  of  the 
fore  sljiie  cuusequently  tears  off"  a  portion  of  the  coronet  from  the  hind 
fool,  in  cart-i  orses,  alter  the  horse  is  fatigued,  the  load  has  to  be  taken 
down  a  sleep  hill ;  the  animal,  being  in  the  shafts,  rocks  to  and  fro  the 
legs  cross,  and  the  calk  of  one  shoe,  wounds  the  coronet  of  tfie  opposite 
hoof. 

The  sore  should  be  bathed  with  chlorideof-zinc  lotion,  one  grain  to  an 
ounce  ui  uatei.  Continue  to  do  this  three  times  daily.  Feed  liberally. 
A  ^]ough  will  take  place  and  the  animal  will  be  well  in  about  a  month, 
the  only  danger  being  the  aiter-result  of  a  false  quarter 

Oyei'i'ertc/t,  which  is  akiu  to  tread,  occurs  only  to  fast  horses.  It 
calls  tor  the  same  treatment  as  tread. 

U'hul-Galls. — These  are  small  enlargements,  generally  upon  the 
hind  legs  and  below  the  hocks.  They  are  caused  by  hard  labor.  The 
best  form  of  treatment  is  the  application  of  pressure.  Fold  a  piec«^  of 
soft  rag  several  times ;  saturate  the  rag  with  water  and  lay  upon  it  one 
drachm  each  oi  opium  and,  camj^hor.  Wrap  this  about  the  enlargement. 
Upon  the  moistened  rag  place  a  piece  of  cork  big  enough  to  cover  the 
Vvind-gall,  and  above  it  lace  on  an  India-rubber  bandage.  This  bandage 
should  be  constantly  worn  in  the  stable. 

Worms. — Worms  infesting  the  horse  are  of  four  kinds :  the  taenia  or 
tapeworm,  the  lumbrici,  the  strongylus  and  the  ascarides. 

The  tape-worm  mostly  affects  colts,  and  is  caused  by  denying  the 
mare  proper  nourishment  when  with  foal  or  by  breeding  from  old  ani- 
mals. A  foal  alflicted  with  tape- worm  grows  up  with  a  large  head,  low 
crest  and  long  limbs.  Tlie  abdomen  is  swollen,  the  appetite  is  raven- 
ous, the  coat  unhealthy  and  the  breath  fetid.     The  animal  may  rub  Its

nose  against  the  wall  or  remain  atraiuiiijj  it  upward  for  a  cousiderable 
time  ;  it  picks  aud  bites  its  body,  often  pulling  out  umutlifuls  of  hair. 

Tapeworm  is  best  destroyed  by  spiiits  of  I  urpenfiue  gi  veil  in  tlie  fol- 
lowing quantities  : 

A  foal,'  3  drachms. 

Three  ujonths  old,  ^  ounce. 

Si.\  mouths,  1  ounce. 

One  year.  1^  ounces. 

Two  years,  2      " 

Three  years,  3      " 

Four  years  and  upward,  4       " 

Procure  one.  pound  of  quassia-chips  ;  pour  on  them  three  quarts  of 
boiling  water.  Strai..  the  liquor.  Cause  the  turpentine  to  blend,  by 
meau,s  of  yolks  of  eggs,  with  so  much  of  the  quassia  infusion  as  may  be 
necesgary.  Add  one  scruple  ot  powuered  camphor  to  the  full  drink, 
and  give  every  morning  before  allowing  any  food.  This  may  kill  the 
worms,  but  as  every  link  of  the  tape-worm  is  a  distinct  animal  of  both 
sexes  and  capable  of  producing  itself,  the  eggs  must  be  numerous.  For 
the  destruction  of  these,  nourishing  prepared  food  is  essential  such  as 
gruel,  scalded  oats,  etc.;  little  or  no  hay  should  be  given.  The  follow- 
ing tonic  will  be  of  seivice  : 

Liquor  arseaicalis,  1  to  8  drachms. 

Muriated  tincture  of  iron,  U  to  13  drachms. 

Extract  of  belladonna,  10  grains  10  2  draciuns. 

Ale  or  go(xl  stout,  ^  pint  to  1  quart. 

Mix;  aud  give  every  morning,  strength  being  proportioned  to  age,  till  the 
eoat  of  the  animal  becomes  glossy. 

Tlie  lumbrici  woinis  prey  upon  weakly  horses  aud  those  enfeebled  by 
age.  Two  drachujs  of  tariaiized  antimony,  with  a  sufficiency  of  cpm- 
mon  mass,  should  be  given  as  a  ball  every  morning  until  the  worms  are 
exj>clled. 

The  ».scari<ics  ajul  strongyli  inhabit  tiie  large  intestines.  The  last,  ai-e 
(lifflciilt  lf»  eradicate,  because  of  the  extent  of  bowel  which  they  infest. 
The  ».scarides  are  always  located  within  the  rectum.  It  is  best  to  begin 
Irftatment  with  inJt'c.tionM  of  train  oil.  Should  these  be  followed  by  uo 
result  by  the  enil  of  a  week,  give  lor  seven  mornings  a  solution  of  cate- 
chu, one  oun(ai  to  a  (piarl  of  water.  U]>on  the  eighth  morning  give  the 
animal  a  bran  masii,  and  at  night  administer  a  mild  physic-ball,  com- 
p/i)*<id  of  about  fo\ir  driw;limH  of  aloe.s  and  one  drachm  of  calomel.  To- 
bacco Muoke  enemas  are  soniotimes  uueful.  The  itching  is  sometimes 
so  provoking  that  the  horse  will  ru  .  the  tail  and  quarter  violently 
against  any  rough  surface  within  its  reach.  The  itching  may  b<',  allayed 
by  inserting  up  the  anus  a  poilion  of  the  following  ointment    night  and

ARTICLES  Of  DIET  FOB,  filCK  HOBSE8. 

Barleg  ami  Lentil  Gruel.— Tnke  of  barley  meal  six  parte,  lenlil 
flour  two  parts,  celery-seed  half  a  part  ;  mix.  A  few  bandfuls  boiled  in 
a  gallon  of  water  down  to  six  pints  make  a  capital  nutritious  drink, 
Ubcd  as  a  ciiange  in  place  of  oatmeal  gniel. 

Bean  Meal  and  BreaA  MVis/i.— Soak  a  loaf  of  bread,  cut  in 
large  slices,  for  two  hours  in  new  milk,  then  make  a  raash  with  two 
bandfuls  of  bean  meal  and  a  pinch  or  two  of  salt. 

Bean  Meal  and  Potato  Mash. — Boil  some  potatoes  in  their 
skins,  then  peel  them,  and  pound  them  into  a  small  mash,  and  mix  with 
one  or  two  bandfuls  of  bean  meal.  Such  a  mash  must  not  exceed  two 
pounds  in  weight,  and  will  be  better  to  be  smaller,  and  repeated  night 
and  moniing  or  oftener. 

Beef  Tea.—Takc  good  lean  beef,  cut  it  into  pieces  the  size  of  a  wal- 
nut, pick  oif  all  skin  and  fat,  place  it  in  a  stone  jar  and  just  cover  it 
with  water  ;  place  on  a  cover  and  let  it  stand  in  a  slow  oven  for  five 
hours.  Give  a  large  break  fasten  pful  every  four  hours  in  iirgent  weak- 
ness, if  necessary,  out  of  a  drench-horn. 

Beer  and  Loaf  Bread. — Place  a  quart  6f  beer,  ale,  porter  or 
stout  in  the  bottom  of  a  pail  ;  then  place  a  whole  loaf,  with  a-  ci-ust 
pared  of!',  in  the  beer,  leaving  the  upper  side  dry  The  horse  eats  the 
bread  down  to  the  beer,  and  eventually  takes  the  whole,  the  beer  also, 
and  will  aiterward  take  kindly  to  beer  given  alone.  Beer  and  loaf  bread 
are  capital  in  long,  tedious  cases  of  extreme  weakness,  such  as  continued 
fevers,  etc. 

Bran  Mash. — Place  good,  recently-made  bran  in  a  pail ;  pour  boil- 
ing water  over  it ;  let  this  stand  near  a  fire  covered  with  several  thick- 
nesses of  clean  rug ;  mix  thoroughly  with  a  stick.  It  should  be  given 
only  in  quantities  capable  of  being  eaten  at  once,  as  it  has  a  tendency  to 
turn  sour  with  standing.  It  should  never  be  placed  in  a  wooden  man- 
ger. It  is  highly  useful  on  accoimt  of  its  laxative  proj^erttes.  A  couple 
of  bandfuls  of  bean  meal  added  to  a  bran  mash  will  make  it  more  valu- 
able as  a  relish. 

Bran  Tea.— Place  a  few  handftds  of  good  fresh  bran  in  the  bottom 
of  a  pail  ;  till  up  the  pail  with  boiling  water  ;  let  the  whole  stand  cov- 
ered near  a  fire,  then  strain  through  mu.slin.  na(;e,  when  cold,  in  a 
fresh  clean  pail,  and  squeeze  a  lemon  into  it,  and  give.  It  is  a  pleasant 
demiilcf-nt  drink  after  inflamed  bowels,  diseases  of  tl>e  urinary  organs. 
in  fevers,  etc.

Braiuly  and  Egg  Mixture. — Beat  np,  well  four  firsh  eggs  ; 
then  add  a  quart  '>f  good  new  milk  and  two  wineglassfuls  of  brandy. 
Give  such  a  dose  in  a  clean  pail  or  out  of  a  drench  bottle  three  or  four 
times  or  oflener  in  the  twenty-tour  hours.  Very  useful  in  a  wesik  stale 
when  no  food  or  very  little  can  be  taken. 

Rreud  Mash, — Soak  two  loaves  of  bread  in  milk  for  two  hor.is; 
reduce  to  a  pulp  ;  add  a  pinch  of  salt,  and,  if  thought  desirable,  a  litlle 
celery  seed  also 

Compound  Brea^l  Mash,— Take  four  tablespoonfuls.  miheap  (', 
of  bre;id  mash,  and  the  same  quantity  of  malt  ;  mix  well  ttigether ;  then

carrot. 

Pulled  Bread, — Remove  the  crust  from  one  or  two  fresh  loaves, 
of  bread  and  pull  the  crumb  or  white  portion  with  the  fingers  into 
pieces  the  size  of  walnuts  or  larger  ;  place'  these  in  a  hot  oven  to  brown 
the  surface  of  each  piece',  turning  the  pieces  over  for  this  purpose,  and 
allerwai'd  put  into  a  cooler  oven  three  or  four,  hours  to  drive,  a^'ay  ajl 
moisture.  This  is- highly  relished  by  a  sicHc  horse,  and  may  be  given  hi 
intervals  from  the  hand  in  any  low,  weak' case. 

Ckirrots. — These  are  highly  relished  by  horses  in  sickness  nnd  in 
health.  They  should  be  washed  and  scraped  very  clean  and  slictsd  cjoss- 
wise  or  lengthwise.  They  are  better  given  raw,  from  tiic  hand  nr

many  forms  of  sickness.  But  theymust  not  be  given  indiscriminately 
in  every  form  ot  ailment,  or  harm  may  result.  It  is  best  togive  lliei;:  in 
small  quantities,  in  onler  that  their  easy  ingestion  may  not  lead  to  over- 
eat i.g.  In  low  .states  of  illness,  with  utter  absence  of  appetite,  a  little 
grei:ri  iood  may  be  offered  by  hand  from  time  to  tiaie.

Tliree  da^'s  of  grace  are  usually  alli)\v<'d  on  all  notes  aud  draftij,  ex- 
cept tliose  "on  demand."  These  days  make  no  allowance  for  Sundays 
or  indidays,  so  that  if  a  note  fall  iliic  on  riiur-:day,  the  days  of  graee  are 
up  ell  Sntiu'day. 

As  reuards  the  indorsement  of  noies  bear  these  regulations  in  mind: 
A  nolt- drawn  to  a  certain  person,  or  bearer,  needs  no  indorsement, 
though  for  llie  sake  of  tracing  it  readily  indorsemeni  is  usuallj-  asked. 
Ageneial  indorsement  is  made  by  simply  writing  the  payee's  name  on 
th<- back  of  the  note,  in  tliis  form  he  remains  open  to  all  the  c<;nse- 
((Uriices  if  tilt'  maker  of  the  note  fail  to  pay  it.  A  special  indorsement 
diri-cls  payment  to  a  particidar  i)erson  hy  writing  above  the,  signature 
the  words  "Pay  to  A.  B.  or  order.'  In  this  case  responsibility  falls  on 
this  indorser  only  wlien  those  before  him  on  the  note  fail  to  piiy.  If  the 
iudors(  r  wishes  to  avoid  all  responsibility  as  such,  he  must  add  the 
wordn  "  without  recourse"  in  a  general  indorsement,  and  "  at  hia  risk," 
to  a  special  indorsement,  or  "without  recourse  upon  me."  No  indorae- 
ment  can  paas  the  property  included  in  a  note  imless  the  indoraer  has  legal 
claim  to  that  property.  Indorsers  become  security  that  the  maker  of 
the  Hole  -hall  pay  the  n\ouey  due  thereon.  If  the  holder  is  guilty  of 
ueijlecl  (»r  in  any  way  compromises  with  the  holder  in  respect  to  the 
claim,  the  indorsers  are  discharged  from  all  lurthor  responsibility.  No 
Compromise  can  l)e  made  with  antecedent  indorsers  to  the  injury  of 
those  suliscquently  on  the  paper.  Demand  for  jiayment  when  due,  and 
propi-r  diligence  in  enfoicing  it,  mnsl  jirecede  <^harg«'  upon  the  in- 
dorsers. 

Should  the  holder  of  ;i  note  lose  it,  he  must  nuike  a  fornud  demand 
for  its  payuMMit  when  due,  Inil  he  is  resjionsihle  to  the  party  paying  the 
noli-  ill  cjiM!  troubh'  should  arise.  When  a  nolc  is  lost,  it  is  well  lo  give 
public  Warning  agaiiisl  its  ni'goilatioii  ;  in  some  .Slates  this    is  essential. 

'I'he  demand  for  payminl  of  a  note  should  be  made  upon  llu-  day  Ihat 
il  ix  dill:  and  aceordiiig  to  ilic  -pccilic.itions  of  the  note.  A  good  way  to 
save  trouble  is  to  ibn.w  the  note  inio  a  bank  for  collection,  wluch 
charges  hut  a  .snnill  fee. 

ill  cascol'llie  non-i)aymeiil  ol  a  note,  place  it  in  the  hands  of  a  notary 
public,  lie  tninially  ijiniands  |>a\  iiieiil,  and  if  not  received  he  al  tmce 
protests  the  note  and  informs  the  indorsers.  Should  any  loss  occur 
UiTough  the  notary's  neglect,  he  is  responsible.

\^,  HE  History  of  Washington  might  begin  witli  s  period  long  before 
the  Palefaces  came  thither,  could  vi'e  place  impliciti  reliance  upon 
Indian  traditions.  These  give  us  an  account  of  fierce  stniggles 
that  took  place  for  supremacy,  as  three  tribes,  one  after  the  other  lield 
the  territory  hereabouts.  These  traditions  of  warfare  are  attested  by 
the  many  arrow-heads  and  spear-points  found  in  our  soil ;  yet  we  will 
content  ourselves  with  a  more  recent  date  for  a  beginning.  Passing 
over  the  time  when  this  spot  of  earth  was  under  the  sway  of  the  propri- 
etors of  one  of  the  Jerseys —  past  the  time  when  the  two  .lerseys  were 
merged  in  one  colony,  ruled  over  by  tlie  Governor  of  New  York,  we  be- 
gin at  1694  when  a  colony  with  a  Governor  of  its  own  appointed  bj' 
the  Mother  Country  an  act  was  passed  by  the  English  Parliment  con- 
firming the  boundaries  of  the  eight  counties  into  whicr.  New  Jersey  was 
then  divided.  This  then  was  a  part  of  Burlington  County,  but  in  1714 
the  new  County  of  Hunterdon  was  carved  out  of  Burlington  for  the  con- 
venience of  the  early  settlers  who  found  the  County  Seat  too  far  off  to 
be  readily  accessible.  From  Hunterdon  county,  in  1738,  Morris  county 
was  set  apart,  and  again  in  1753  Sussex  county,  and  finally  in  1824  War- 
ren county  was  made  from  a  portion  of  Sussex.  This  was  a  part  of 
Mansfield  township  until  1849,  when  the  town  of  Washington  was  set 
aside,  and  that  again  divided  in  1868,  when  a  mile  square  was  made  into 
the  Borough  of  Washington. 

.  Port  Golden  was  chosen  as  the  site  for  a  city,  but  the  fates  ruled 
otherwise,  and  it  is  now  content  to  be  a  pretty  suburb  of  its  lucky  sister. 
It  will  be  frf>m  gross  neglect  of  its  opportunities  if  Washington  does 
not  grow  into  a  city  of  many  thousands.  The  beauty  of  its  location, 
the  healthful  climate,  the  rich  surrounding  country,  the  facilities  for 
transportation,  all  make  it  likely  that  it  has  a  future.  But  the  historian 
must  not  stop  his  work  to  prophesy. 


184  HISTORY  OF  WASHINGTON. 

The  first  we  hear  of  white  folks  ;it  lliis  phiee  was  a  cry  tor  preach- 
ing, and  to  this  day  it  is  a  ehurch-ftoing:  people  tliat  live  here.  1740  an 
application  was  made  to  Presbytery  "  tor  supplies  of  preaching  in  Mr. 
Barber's  neighborhood,  Muscannekuuk,"  in  response  to  which  appeal 
the  Presbytery  erected  a  log  building  on  the  hill,  by  what  is  now  known 
as  the  old  cemetery;  this  being  at  first  called  "  the  Barber  Neighbor- 
hood Church,"  the  first  pastor  being  an  Irishman  named  McCrea.  He 
had  no  parsonage  here,  his  home  being  on  the  saddle,  whence  he  could 
overlook  the  various  charges  committed  to  him  in  the  wilderness  we  now 
know  as  the  garden  section  of  New  Jersey.  His  sister  was  murdered 
by  Indians  at  the  Fort  Edward  massacre.  New  York  State,  during  the 
Revolutionary  war.  His  successor  was  an  Irishman,  as  also  was  the 
third  pastor,  llev.  John  Rosburgh,  who  left  his  charge  to  join  the  Rev- 
olutionary army  as  chai)lain,  to  meet  his  death  at  the  battle  Assunpink, 
a  few  d:iys  al'tcjr  the  battle  of  Trenton. 

At  a  date  unknown  the  church  was  re-christened,  being  known 
thereafter  as  the  "Mansfield  wood-house  fhurch";  a  name  it  retained 
even  after  the  erection  of  a  stone  edifice  upon  the  same  site.  Upon  the 
church  records,  1790,  is  entered  a  rule  that  each  pew-holder  should  fur- 
nish a  bushel  of  wheat  per  annum  to  the  man  wlio  cared  for  the  building 
and  built  tires  in  the  winter.  The  gradual  growth  of  Washington  may 
best  be  shown  by  continuing  its  Church  history.  1822  the  church  was 
again  re-named  and  hencelbrlh  called  the  Mansfield  Presbyterian  Church. 
1837  a  new  building  being  found  necessary,  a  struggle  ensued  as  to 
whether  it  should  be  upon  the  old  site  or  down  the  hill  where  the  town 
was  growing.  Those  who  were  disappointed  in  the  removal  of  the 
church  withdrew  fron\  the  society  and  organized  a  new  church  at 
Hampton,  now  known  as  the  Valley  Church.  It  was  finally  decided  to 
move,  and  a  brick  church  erected  that  was  destroyed  1863,  upon  the 
ruins  of  which  the  i)reseul  handsome  edifice  was  built.  Not  until  1877 
was  the  present  name  given  of  "First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Wash- 
ington." 

The  M.  E.  Church  had  its  beginning  in  the  barn  of  Al)ruhani 
Woolsloii,  Port  Coldcii,  1810.  Alter  many  removals  (once  to  Karrs- 
ville)  it  was  strong  cnouiili,  in  1.S23,  to  build  a  house  of  worship,  and 
slirewdly  it  was  decideil  to  build  at  Washington.  Col.  McCullough  and 
his  son-in-law,  Maj.  llankinson  who  were  largely  instrumental  in 
building  up  the  village,  were  recent  converts  when  the  church  was  l)uilt 
and  through  ihem  the  building  was  made  possible.  18.-)()  the  cliurch 
was  rebuilt  in  brick.  In  IHfM  il  was  gicatly  enlarged,  and  furlher 
improvcmcnls  have  since  been  niaile. 

The.  Epi.scopalians  having  made  .several  alleinpts  to  locale,  son, e- 
iimc>-  at  I'ort  ('olden,  sometimes  in  Washington,  ut  last  eft'ectod  a  i>cr- 


HISTORY  OF  WASHINGTON.  185 

■  awueuL  lodgment,  aiul  many  years  of  struggle  witli  alternate  success  anil 
failure  were  finally  crowned  by  the  erection  of  a  cliapel  on  Broad  street, 
1886. 

St.  Josepli's  K.  C  Church  was  erected  1872;  the  congregation  hav- 
ing previously  met  at  i)rivHte  hou.ses  for  several  years. 

The  Baptists  do  not  api)ear  to  have  made  any  effort  in  this  portion 
of  the  vineyard  until   about    1881.     Discouragements  that  would  have 
daunted  less  persevering  souls  met  their  first  efforts,  but  tiiey  succeeded 
.'in  erecting  a  haucLso.me   '  little  church  around  the  C(n-ner",  1886. 

The  colored  people  were  20  years  getting  together  material  for  a 
.congregation,  but  1882  their  church  on  the  bank  of  the  canal  was  ded- 
icated, to  their  great  delight. 

The  first  school-house  of  which  we  can  learn  was  a  los:  buildins 
erected  prior  to  the  Hevolutionary  war,  in  which  the  birch  was  swung 
until  the  beginning  of  the  present  century.  Various  private  and  public 
schools  flourished  until  the  present  fine  brick  structure  was  built,  1873, 
at  a  cost  of  $04,000;  enlarged  1886.  at  a  cost  of  |4,500. 

The  earliest  tavern  stood  upon  the  hill  close  by  the  log  church. 
-Afterward  one  was  built  at  the  corner  where  now  stands  the  Windsor 
Bouse,  or  at  whjit  was  then  called  Washington  Crossroads.  Why  so 
-called  is  doubtful,  for  despite  the  legend  that  Washington  once  drank 
•at  the  well  opposite  the  St.  Cloud  Hotel,  it  is  almost  certain  that  Wash- 
ington never  enjoyed  the  privilege  of  visiting  this  region.  Other  inns  at 
^n  early  date  were  located,  one  where  Elisha  Biud's  block  now  is; 
another  the  stone  house  now  occupied  by  Prof.  J.  M.  Rosenberry  on 
Broad  street;  another  where  John  T.  Langstafi'  resides  —  that  build- 
ing being,  with  one  e.vception,  the  oldest  building  in  the  borough. 
Priorto  1811  there  were  no  buildings  within  the  present  borough  lim- 
iits  of  a  better  nature  than  log-huts,  but  that  year  Col.  McCuUough 
*uilt  the  brick  house  now  occupied  by  Dr.  J.  S.  Cook. 

The  first  postofRce  was  opened  1814,  under  the  name  of  Mansfield, 
with  Jolin  L.  Robbius  as  postmaster.  He  had  so  little  to  do,  with  the 
few  letters  and  fewer  newspapers  that  came  into  his  hands,  that  he  com- 
bined with  his  postofRce  a  harness  and  shoe  store.  From  that  date  to 
1886  there  have  been  2.~»  postmasters,  .lust  before  188o  the  business  of 
nhe  office  had  so  greatly  increased  that  but  two  postoflices  in  tlie  State- 
Newark  and  Jersey  City  —  turned  in  as  mirch  revenue  to  the  Postoftia- 
Department. 

A  stranger  in  VVasliington  will  notice  as  a  peculiar  feature  that  it 
looks  as  if  recently  built.  Out  West  that  seems  a  matter  of  course,  but 
in  Jersey  one  expects  to  see  new  and  old  side  by  side.  The  fact  is  that 
Washington  has  only  recently  begun  to  grow.  Our  townsman,  J.  V. 
Creveling,  Esq.,  still  m  his  prime,  when  a  boy  ploughed  ground  that 


18J  HISTORY   OF  WASHINGTON. 

had  never  before  been  cnllivated,  in  the  limits  of  what  is  now  known  8J« 
Washington  borough.  Another  of  our  justices  of  peace,  A.  B.  Stewarts 
Esq.,  to  call  whom  an  ol  I  man  would  be  a  dangerous  experiment,  is  al- 
most a  founder  of  the  present  village.  1857  he  purchased  a  farm,  cut  ii 
up  into  lots,  on  which  are  now  built  a  large  part  <  1  the  borough  dwell- 
ings. It  is  a  hazardous  task  to  try  to  give  the  names  and  exploits  of  the 
early  citizens  of  Washington,  as  one  is  sure  to  omit  names  that  ought  to 
be  given  prominence.  But  a  very  brief  roll  of  honor  may  be  presented 
without  claiming  lo  have  it  complete.  The  McCulloughs,  Hankinsons,, 
Laceys,  Van  Horns,  VanNattas,  '"revelings,  Ruslings,  .-hrrjpes,  Rob- 
bins,  .Johnstons,  Drakes,  Henrys,  Beavers,  Davis,  Hughs,  Van  Dorens, 
and  many  others  whose  acts  deserve  to  be  chronicled; 

It  is  pleasant  lo  know  that  in  the  Revolutionary  war  this  section  of" 
Jersey  had  few  Tories  and  furnished  many  good  soldiers,  and  lo  remem-. 
ber  that  in  the  late  Civil  war  Washington  sent  its  full  share  of  Boys  in 
Blue  to  fight  for  the  flag. 

Long  before  Washington  had  factories  it  had  a  distillery  that  has 
disappeared,  and  it  is  worthy  of  notice  that  there  is  not  as  much  drink- 
ing now  as  when  Washington  was  a  little  cross-road  hamlet. 

Its  indu.stries  have  been  the  tannery,  the  carriage  shops  the  boat, 
yard  and  the  organ  factories,  by  which  the  town  has  been  made  known. 
Ihrougliout  the  world,  and  finally  the  shoe  factory  started  1884.  In  the 
manufacture  ol  organs,  Robert  Hornbaker  was  the  pioneei'.  though 
John  A.  Smith,  and  after  him,  H.  K.  White,  made  melodeons  here 
before  Among  the  organ  makers  who  have  made  Washington  famous 
have  been  Hornbaker,  McMurlrie,  Plotts,  Dawes,  Wyckoflf,  Alleger,. 
Bowlby,  Kennedy,  Beatty,  Cornish,  Cole,  Cieveling,  VanDoren, 
Herrick  and  others  whose  names  we  cannot  just  now  recall.  Of  all. 
these  Beatty  has  undoubtedly  made  the  most  noise  in  the  world.  His 
career  reads  like  a  tale  of  j\Iunchausen.  In  ten  years,  starting  a  penni- 
less boy,  he  built  up  a  business  of  large  proportions,  turning  out  1800' 
organs  per  month,  spending  $400,000  per  annnm  in  advertising,  but  hi?, 
rapid  onward  progress  was  in  a  moment  checked  by  disaster.  The  bub- 
ble burst  and  his  wonderful  prosperity  gave  way  to  sudden  ruin,  and 
the  wonder  changed  from  ' '  how  could  he  acheive  success  so  great  in  so 
short  a  time,"  to  "how  could  he  become  so  involved  in  embarrasments.'" 
It  was  a  modern  "  rise  and  fall  of  the  Roman  Empire,"  in  one  short 
chapter,  and  fiction  has  no  parallel  for  so  unique  a  career  as  his.  Every- 
body hopes  he  may  yet  succeed  in  retrieving  his  fortune.  He  is  young 
and  plucky  and  having  made  a  start  again  may  once  more  astonish  the 
world. 

Cornish,  Alleger  and  Bowlby,  though  moving  on  more  slowl}*,  have 
surely  advanced  and  are  giving  employment  to  many  men,  and  are 
yearly  increasing  their  business. 


HISTORY   OF  WASHINGTOX.  187 

Tlie  shoe  factory  seems  iu  a  fair  way  to  be  a  ilecided  success. 

Of  corporations,  llie  First  National  Bank,  organized  1864,  and  the 
Washin<iton  Water  Compans',  organized  1881,  are  both  in  a  flourishing 
condition,  their  stock  much  above  par,  and  stockholders  happj-  with 
regular  dividends.  The  Washington  Building  Loan  Association,  started 
1870,  was  not  the  succ<-ss  its  promoters  anticipated,  yet  it  has  made 
money  for  such  as  held  on  to  their  stock  with  the  gri]:)  of  grim  despair. 

Washington  has  had  excellent  musical  organizations.  The  old  brass 
hand  won  laurels  upon  many  a  field  and  prizes  when  it  competed  for 
them.  The  orchestra  was  an  unusually  fine  one  until,  as  with  the  band, 
its  members  were  scattered,  and  could  no  longer  meet  together.  18G0, 
two  militia  companies  sprang  suddenly  into  existence,  rivalry  was  in- 
tense between  them.  Real  wai*  came  soon  after,  and  men  from  both 
companies  enlisted,  forming  a  company  that  went  to  the  front;  as  a 
result,  both  of  the  original  companies  were  disbanded.  About  20  years 
later  the  same  thing  again  happened.  Two  rival  companies  were  almost 
simultaneously  raised,  between  whom  much  feeling  existed.  They  were 
speedily  equipped  and  uniformed,  but  both  ([uickly  disbanded,  why, 
"  no  fellow  could  ever  find  out." 

Washington  has  always  been  a  great  place  to  start  new  societies 
and  the  graveyard  is  full  of  such,  over  the  graves  of  some  of  which  the 
epitaph  sliouM  be  written  : 

"  If  I  was  so  soon  to  be  done  for, 
Why  was  I  ever  begun  for." 

Some  have  died  and  been  resurrected,  but  of  tho-e  who  have  died 
to  live  no  more  have  been  —  Knights  of  Pythias,  Good  Templars, 
"  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,"  "  Emerson  Glee  Club,"  Wash- 
ington Lecture  Association,  "  Sons  of  Temperance,"  "Washington 
Reform  Club." 

The  earliest  sf)ciety  of  all  has  been  the  most  prosperous,  though 
oven  it  had  a  period  of  several  j-ears'  slumber  that  seemed  like  death. 
1814,  Mansfield  Lodge  :J1,  F.  Sz  A.  M.,  was  instituted;  after  ten  years 
it  became  inoperative  and  forfeited  its  charter.  It  was  resuscitated  l8o.5 
ns  Mansfield  Lodge  :i{i,  F.  Sc  A.  M.  Temple  Chapter  13,  R.  A.  M.,  was 
instituted  at  Phillipsburg,  1860,  and  removed  to  Washington,  l^Go. 
Washington  Council  7,  R.  A:  S.  M.,  was  instituted  1860.  DeMoIay 
Commandery  6,  Iv.  T.,  was  instituted  1S67.  It  is  said  that  no  place 
of  its  si/e  in  New  .Jersey  has  as  good  opi)ortunitics  for  tiiose  who  vvisli 
to  go  through  the  various  degrees  of  masonry.  Mansfield  Lodge  42, 
I.  O.  O.  P.,  was  instituted  1846.  Hero  Encampment  42,  I.  O.  O.  F. 
Lil)erly  Council,  O.  U.  A.  M.,  15,  was  instituted  1866.  Warren  Council 
16,  .Jr    O.  U.  A.  M.,  was  instituted  1868,  but  atter  a  t-imc  lapsed,  and

ilfnrylJO,  (i.  A.  li  ,  was  Drganized  1870,  but  after  nearl}'  ten  years  of  , 
lite  surrendered  its  charter,     .lohn  F.  Reynolds  Post  OG,  G.  A.  R.,  was 
organized    1882,  and   is    now  in  a  tlourisiiing  condition.       In  point  of 
finances    tlje  Masonic   order  is  the  most  prosperous,  next  tp  which  tL& 
Odd  Fellows,  and  ilicn  the  Order  I  idled  American  Mechanics. 

The  Woman's  Clirislian  Te)ni)erauce  Union   was   started  1870.  and, 
■waxes  stronger  tiom  year  to  year. 

The  Red  !Men  organized  in  force  some  years  ago,  but  faded  before 
the  Pale  Faces,  but  1886,  the  Ute  Tribe  80,  I.  O.  R.  M.,  camped  here 
as  if  they  had  Cv,nie  to  stay. 

Washington  Lodge  5,  K.  i.^:  L.  ot  the  G.  S.,  and  ^lusconetcong  Coun- 
cil 1036,  Ameiican  Legion  of  Honor,  have  both  tiourished  since  1884. 

The  youngest  order  in  our  Borough  is  that  of  llie  Knights  of. 
Labor.  The  Band  of  Hope  has  for  several  years  drilled  the  children  tor 
the  ranks  of  Teini)erance.  Wliile  tender  youths  of  the  masculine  gender 
are  banded  in  a  secret  society  of  their  own  getting  up  and  go  about  wear- 
ing the  mysterious  ])adge  E.  The  Sons  of  Temperance  may  be  ex- 
jiected  back  in  force,  as  they  come  every  once  in  a  while,  like  a  comet, 
having  befu  orgainzed  1862.  1869  and  1886,  the  last  time  existing  only 
a  few  months. 

One   thing  above  all  else  is  remarkable  in  Washington:     The  ab- 
sence of  family,  neighorhood  and  church  nuarrel^    But  why  should  peo- 
ple quarrel   whose   surroundings   are   so  delightful.     May   the  Borougk., 
long  flourish,  and  its  citizens  be  ever  happy. 

Wasliington  has  a  population  of  about  8,000,  and  the  present  officers  ■

HACKETTSTOWN. 


X 


\\{  ACKETTSTOWN  was  incor;orated  as  a  borough  in  1653  and 

T"       has  now  (.jSSO)  .ibout  2,800  inliabitants. 
"^"^  It  lias  an  ai-ea  of  about  '2f  miles,  or  1754  acres.     It  is  bounded 

on  the  north  and  east  by  Morris  county;  on  the  south  by  Mansfield  town- 
ship, and  on  tlie  w^est  by  Independe::ce.  It  received  its  present  name  trom 
a  gentleman  by  the  name  of  Samuel  Hackett,  at  the  time  of  the  raising  of 
the  frame  of  the  first  hotel  on  the  site  of  the  Warren  House.  This  was 
most  probably  in  the  year  1704.  Few  [laces  in  the  county  of  Warren  have 
such  a  beautiful  natural  location  as  tins  thrlvingtown.  From  the  summit 
of  Bucks  Hill,  a  rocky  height  half  a  mile  from  town,  tlie  t  w^n  and  adjacent 
country  can  be  seen  to  the  best  advantage.  Towards  the  south  ihc  tertile 
valley  of  the  Musconetcong  stretches  as  far  as  the  eye  can  reach.  Tlie 
hills  coming  together  on  the  north,  and  bounding  the  view  in  that 
direction  ;  the  Schooley  Mountain  range  on  the  east  ;  the  Musconetcong 
river  meandering  through  the  midst  of  the  valley,*  >md  on  whcso  baiiks 
the  borough  stands  ;  the  Morris  canal  at  the  foot  of  the  hills  and  the  D. 
L.  &  W.  R.  R.  track  a  little  below  that,  presents  to  the  eye  a  panorama 
that  is  indeed  most  pic'.uresqiie. 

It  is  said  that  Samuel  Hackett  was  the  first  settler  of  this  town,  and 
that  he  settled  there  about  the  year  1720.  His  father-in-law  had  received 
large  grants  of  land  from  the  King  of  England,  and  he  in  turn  gave  10,- 
000  acres  to  Mr.  Hackett. 

He  once  lived  in  a  log  house  that  stood  on  the  eastern  bank  of  Bowers* 
foundry  pond.  Thomas  Shields,  Jr.,  a  few  years  ago  removf-d  the 
Lozear  house,  which  it  is  said  was  his  last  residence.  He  was  one  of  the 
judges  of  Morris  county  before  Sus-.^ex  and  Warren  were  taken  from  it. 
He  lived  to  a  ripe  old  age  and  died  without  any  heirs. 

Hackettstown  has  three  hotels,  none  of  which  have  license  at  the 
present  time.     There  has  been  a  hotel  where  the  Warren  House  now 


214  HISTORY  OF   HACK  KITS  TOWN. 

stands  for  ihe  last  ninety  years.  The  house  wan  rebuilt  in  1840,  and  lias> 
been  known  af<  the  "  Warren  House  "since.  The  "American  House' 
was  kept  as  a  liotel  as  early  as  \S'i'->.  It  has  been  added  to  a  number  of 
times  until  it  now  has  a  frontage  of  100  feet.  The  Clarendon  House, 
owned  by  Tiiomas  Shields,  Jr., is  t!i  ■  iv.\ :  in  )  st  recently  l)nilt  and  is  a 
very  neat  and  attractive  liosielry. 

Haoketlslow  11  is  luirdeiied  with  a  considerable  debt,  most  of 
which  was  incurred  in  liuildiny  the  i)reseut  line  large  public  scho(.l 
building,  which  is  a  credit  and  ornament  to  the  town.  The  debt,  how- 
ever, is  being  gradually  wiped  out  and  ta.xes  are  easier. 

The  town  is  well  supplied  with  churches.  Tlie  "  Fiist  Presbyteiian 
Chuicii  "f  liide|)endence"  is  a  strong  organization.  Tlie  first  building 
was  a  frame  one  erected  about  the  year  ITOO.  About  the  year  IHll',  this 
old  Church  was  sold  and  removed  to  Beattystown  and  a  new  one  erected. 
The  i>resent  church  was  erected  in  1861,  when  the  Rev.  G.  C.  Bush  was 
pastor  ;  is  valued  at  §36,000,  with  a  membership  of  about  500. 

■niE  ST.  .TAMES  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH 

was  erected  in  ls.7.i.  It  is  a  Mission  belonging  to  the  (Convocation  of 
Newark. 

rniMTV  .MErilUlJIST  kpisiopal  ciiuucii 
was  organi.;ed  in    \>^-'j'2.     There  was  nc  regular  Methodist  aiiiioiutmcuf 
prior  to  tliat  lime.     The  first  churcii  was  eiectetl   in  is;)4.     Tliere  was  a 
new  edifice  built   in  front  and  nearer  the  street  in  1838.      The  old  one  is 
used  now  as  a  Sabbath  school  room. 

ST.   MAPvY'SCATUOLIC  IIILP.CU 

was  erected  in  1864.  Before  its  erection  the  few  Catholics  in  Hacketts- 
lown  and  vicinity  wi>rshi])i>ed  in  ;i  house  near  the  ]S[orris  and  Essex 
railroatl. 

The  sclu)ol  facilities  ol  llackeltslown  are  unsurpassed.  The  fine 
ihrce-story  ])ublic  school  building  was  erected  in  1874,  at  a  cost  of  $oO,- 
000.  The  school  (list  1  let  is  numb(M- 48,  and  there  are,  according  to  the 
report  of  State  Sui)erinteiul;un  in  1875,  648  sclu'lars  in  the  district.  The 
total  amount  received  from  all  source-  tor  public  school  purposes  was 
.-*5,~M'J.()2. 

'I'lie  cfiiiier  stone  of  the-

was  laiil  Sepleml)er  ',',  l!-^60.  It  is  a  .Melhoilist  institution  inde;  the  care 
of  the  Newark  M.  K.  Conference.  Hackettst(nvn  was  selected  as  the  site 
of  tliis  institution  because  of  the  grandeur  of  its  scenery,  the  purity  of  its 
water  ;ind  tiie  heidthfulne.ss  of  its  climate.  The  building  cost  over 
:f;'300,000  and  is  free  of  debt.  It  has  under  the  I'residency  of  Rev.  George

and  usefulness.  Many  stiuli'iils  seeking  admission  are  turned  awaj-  for 
want  of  room  to  accommodiiTr  them.  It  is  designateti  to  afford  the 
amplest  facilities  for  both  sexes  to  receive  a  superior  education,  and  to 
prepare  young  im  n  fwr  iIh'  higher  classes  in  college  or  theological 
seminary. 

Hackettstown  is  favorably  situated  for  the  introduction  of  water,  and 
the  reservoir  built  at  Sclioole5'^^'s  Mountain  amplj-  supplies  the  town. 
The  income  Irom  the  water  works  is  a  source  of  profit  to  the  town. 

The  "  First  National  Bank  of  Hackettstown"  is  considered  one  of 
the  stauncliest  moneyed  instituti(His  in  the  county.  The  present  officers 
of  the  borough  are  :  >[ayor,  Cliarles  J.  Reese;  Clerk,  Anson  G.  Protz-

SHIELDS'  COMPOUIID  SYRU?  OF  WILD  DEEREY, 

WITH  HV1'01'H<J8PH1TE8  OF  LIME  AM)  SODA. 

A  POSITIVK  OtiRK  FOR 

Coughs,    Colds,    Croup,    Pneumonia,    Hoarseness. 
bore  Throat,  Bronchitis,  Whooping  Cough, 
and  all  diseases  leading  to  Pulmon- 
ary Consumption  and  Bleed- 
ing   at    the    Lungs. 

This  coinbhuitiou  is  made  by  request,  to  uieet  the  2^i"<->- 
lessional  demand.  U  is  approved  and  extensivel3^  jn-escribed 
by  the  medical  fraternity. 

Tlie  Hypophosphites  contained  in  tliis  preparation  are 
free  from  impurities,  and  neutral,  conditions  insisted  on  by 
Dr,  Churchill  as  necessary  to  efficiency. 

Price  25  cents,  50  cents  and  $1.00  per  bottle. 

Sl^  CAUTION. — 'I'lie  Public  is  strictly  cautioned  against 
usin<^'  so-called  Coui^h  Syru]>s  or  Cough  Mixtures,  w^n(i  are 
offered  for  sale  with  sealed  corks,  to  prevent  evaporation.  All 
these  contain  chloroform,  chloric-ether,  ether,  and  other  vola- 
tile and  injurious  drugs  (may  be  known  by  theii'  color)  which 
only  give  temporary  or  a  false  relief,  and  cause  drowsiness, 
bad  after-effects,  or  leave  a  burning,  sweet  taste.  By  the  use 
of  these  preparations  the  system  acquires  tlie  dreaded  opium 
or  morphine  habit,  and  but  a  smaU  portion  of  the  general 
public  have  any  adequate  idea  of  the  strength  of  this  habit,  or 
of  the  great  difficulty  and  impossibility,  in  most  cases,  of  un- 
aided cure.  The  chief  responsibility,  indeed,  with  the  habit- 
lies  in  the  initiation  rather  than  in  the  continuance  of  the 
habit  ;  you  cannot,  like  the  user  of  alcohol  and  tobacco,  by  a 
strong  effort  of  the  will,  shake  oft'  its  chains. 

SHIELDS'    INFALLIBLE    DYSPEPTIC    REMEDY. 

COMPRESSED  POWDER  FORM. 

Prepared  after  a  valuable  prescription  written  by  the  late 
Dr.  Willard  Parker,  of  New  York  City.  Guaranteed  a  sure

i,iS  is  lltc  i-ounly  seal  ot  WaiTcn  county,  :ind  is  beainiluily  located 
on  eiiliersiile  of  Pfjqueisl  creek  at  its  court iience  with  tlie  Deiawaie 
live)'.  The  south  side  of  the  creek  was  the  poition  tirst  settled. 
It  is  regul  ^rly  laid  out  in  sqiiares,  and  about  80  or  40  feet  above  the  level 
of  the  river.  Here  is  the  piihlit-  square,  the  Court  House,  aud  the  most 
beauiiful  part  ol  the  t«wii.  Around  the  public  park  are  located,  with 
one  exception,  the  churches  of  the  town,  viz  :  Protestant  Episcopal, 
Methodist  Episcoi^al,  Presbyterian  and  Baptist  Ciiurches,  lacing  the  east, 
eoutli  and  west  sides  of  the  park.  The  Second  Presbyterian  Church  is 
located  on  the  north  side  of  the  river. 

Belvidere  is  situated  about  To  miles  from  New  York,  Go  miles  from 
Philadelphia  and  18  miles  iibove  Easton,  Pa.,  and  cont:iiris  ;ibout  1,«0U 
inhabitants. 

It  is  8up}M)sed  thttt  the  portion  of  the  town  upon  tlie  soulli  side  of  the 
Pequesl  was  at  one  time  an  Indian  village  Itobert  Patterson  was  the 
first  pioneer  of  Belvidere,  and  probably  built  the  first  house,  which  was 
torn  down  in  1838  by  Major  Depue.  It  was  a  block  house,  or  double 
log  house,  as  they  were  called  in  those  days.  The  next  laud  owner  was 
Robert  Morris,  who  in  1798  "  gave  a  deed  of  the  entire  tract  to  his  son- 
in-law  and  daughter,  (Charles  and  Mary  Coxall."  By  deed  dated  Sept. 
30,  18'25,  the  entire  014  acres  embraced  in  this  tvact  were  transferred  to 
Garret  D.  Wall  by  Charles  Coxall — Mary  Coxall  having  previously  died. 
Subsequently  Mr.  Wall  generously  donated  to  Warren  county  the 
grounds  upon  which  the  county  buildings  stand,  and  the  public  square. 
To  his  generosity,  also,  all  the  churches  which  face  tlie  park,  with  the 
exception  of  the  Baptist,  owe  the  lands  tt^on  which  the  ciiurches  and 
pasonages  stand.  The  Baptists  purchased  their  church  lot  of  Hon.  Geo. 
M.  R  be^oa,  in  18()().  ,  Major  Robert  Hoops  came  to  Belvidere  about  the 
year  1770.  He  gave  Belvidere  its  present  name,  and  was  an  extensive' 
land  proprietor  in  and  about  the  place.  He  acquired  by  purchase  .soum 
500  acres  of  land  on  either  side  of  the  Pequest,  including  the  mill  .•in(l 


238  HISTORY   OF    BELMI>KRK. 

WHter  i)()\vcr.  He  iittcrwMid-;  creeled  :i  l;iri:e  slaughler  house  on  the  lot 
•where  now  stand  tlie  buiUliuirs  of  D.  C.  lilair.  In  tliis  building  "  large 
nnmbeis  of  eatlle and  liogs  were  slauulitered  and  i)acked,  wliicli  together 
with  the  tlour  nianiit'aeUired  at  the  mill  were  transported  to  middle  Jersey 
for  the  itse  ot  ll*e  Revolntlonaiy  army,  and  not  unfrequently  aJt  that 
period,  all  the  farmers  wagons  and  sleds  w'cre  put  into  requisition  to  con- 
vey these  articles  to  the  half-starving  thousands  under  the  command  of 
Gen.  Washin^gton.  in  the  vicinity  ot  Moriisiown." 

During  ]\Iajor  Hoop's  ovvnershi})  of  the  land  to  the  north  of  the 
Peque  t,  he  had  it  surveyed  and  divided  into  town  lots,  and  called  the 
town  ".ilereer,''  which  remained  its  name  for  many  years.  This  was, 
at  that  lime,  the  only  business  part  ot  the  town,  except  the  double-log  or 
block-house,  of  Patt(.'rson's,  wliich  was  occupied  as  a  store,  and  subse- 
quently as  a  tavern,  and  the  Coxall  mansion,  which  was  in  all  proba- 
bility built  by  Robert  Morris  about  the  year  1780.  Belviderc  is  at  the 
western  terminus  of  the  Lehigh  &  Hudson  railroad,  and  also  on  the 
Belvidere  &  Delaware  Division  of  the  Pennsylvania  railroad,  and  is  well 
siijiljlied  with  good  hotels.  The  Warren  House,  the  American  House, 
the  Pequest  House  arc  all  kept  in  a  tirst-class  manner,  and  receive  a 
liberal  patronage. 

The  "Belvidere  House."  which  was  built  in  1831  by  Chapman 
Warner,  and  originally  intended  for  a  store,  and  a  dwelling,  was  torn 
down  this  Summer,  (1880),  and  will  be  rei)laced  by  a  large  and  com- 
modious structure,  with  all  the  conveniences  of  n  tirstclass  hotel.      Tlie 

KKI.VIDKKK   BANK 

was  chartered  Feb.  lyth,  1830,  principally  through  the  etlbrls  of  Hon. 
John  I.  Blair.  The  first  President  of  the  institution  was  John  Kinney 
Jr.  who  held  the  position  till  his  death.  1850,  when  John  1.  Blair,  Esq., 
was  elected  to  fill  the  vacancy,  and  has  held  the  position  ever  since. 
The  first  cashier  was  John  Stuart,  who  was  succeeded  in  1854  b}'  the 
present  incumbent,  Israel  Harris.  It  was  organized  as  a  National  Bank 
in  1865  with  a  capital  of  $500,000,  but,  in  187fi.  by  a  vote  of  its  stock- 
holders, the  ca])ital  was  reduced  to  ."fodO.UOO. 

Belvidere  is  very  favorably  situnled  ftu  ii\:inufaelui  iug  purfXises. 
Its  water  ]>ower  is  reckoned  as  second  lo  none  lu  the  Stale,  and  witli  all 
the  other  natural  advantages  taken  into  conRiderali<»u  it  i>robably  h:is  no 
superior  as  a  site  for  maiuifacturing  purp^sev.  The  iirineiptd  nianu- 
facturing  establishments  arc  the  fiouring  mill?!,  ol  which  theri'  are 
several  first-class  ones. 

Belvidere  is  well  supplied  with  churches,  and  has  a  good  public 
school.  Tiie  first  school  house  was  a  small  frame  structure  of  14  by  20 
feet.  The  present  buililing  is  a  common  fr^iuie  one,  and  was  eicclcd  in

PHILLIPSBURG, 


> 


(    ,  HE  present  site  of   Phillipsbuig  was  in  1654  an  Indian  villa.ae.  and 
^cording  to  a  map  published  at  that  time  bj-  a  Dutcli  enaineer 
^       iiamed  Vander  Dork  was  called  chintervink.     It   is  said  to  have 
Ijee"  the  favorite  lishing  ground  of  the  Indians.     Tlie  "  history  of  the 
Lehiirh  Valley,"  published  in  1860  gives  the  following  intpresting  facts  : 
"  The  origin  of  the  name  (if  Phillipsburg  is  not  well-known,  the 
impression  being  that  iJ  was  named  after  a  large  landliolder  bylhe  name 
ot  Phillips,  who  resided  here  at  nn  early  day  ;  but  tlie  moi'e   plausible 
suppositio))  i's  that  it  v>'as  derived  from  tiie  Indian  cliief  PliiJip,  who  took 
up  liis  abode  in  this  place.     This  Indian  chief  was  an  intimate  friend  of 
the  great  chief  Teedyiiscung.     The  name  of  Phillipsburg  was  found  on 
the  map  of  the  inhabited   parts  of   P<;ims3dvania  and   New  Jersey.  j)ub- 
lished   in  1749  by  Evan^^,  whicii  was   l)etbre  the  time  of  Mr.  Phillip.s' 
resi.lence  here.  ' 

'■  Phillipsburg  was  evidently'  settled  by  the  white  people  before 
Easton.  ina«mncli  as  Eastoii  was  not  laid  out  until  some  time  afler  the 
different  maps  weie  pubhshed  giying  the  name  of  Phillipsburg.  About 
the  time  Easton  was  laid  out  the  land  upon  which  Phillipsburg  was  built 
was  owned  by  the  heirs  of  David  Martin,  a  ferryman,  and.  a  .Mr.  Co.xe, 
a  merchant  of  PhiladelpJiia,  Mr.  Coxe  owning  the  principle  part— about 
four  hundred  a\ul  eleven  acres,  among  whicli  vvert-  the  '  Old  Fields' — 
on  which,  on  account  of  tlieir  beautiful  location  and  tlie  advantages  ihey 
appeared  to  have  possessed  for  the  piuposes  of  a  town  over  tlie  hind  on 
the  opposite  side  of  the  Delaware  river  he  contemplated  in  17.")2to  lay 
out  a  town.  The  intention  of  Mr.  Coxe  appeared  to  greatly  alarm  tlie 
proprietors  of  Pennsylvania,  who  were  afraid  that  it  would  ijijuii-  iln- 
infaut  town  of  Easton.     In  a  lett«;r  from  Thomas  Penn,  dated  >Iarc)i  9, 


256  HISTOKY  OF  PMILLTP.SBU2IG. 

1752,  lu  llicliarJ  Peters,  he  said,  '  1  think  wv  should  secure  all  tisi;  i.uida

Phillipsluug  was  not  incorporated  as  a  town  unlil  March  s,  1861. 
Its  'growth  had  been  slow,  and  in  iy.")0  it  was  but  a  straggling  •  illage. 
The  pre.-iMice  of  the  flourishing  town  oC  Easton  on  tiie  (.[)|>osite 
bank  of  the  Delaware  seemed  to  operate  against  its  growth,  In  \^'.i2 
the  -Morris  Canal  was  coiupieled,  and  I'hillipsburg  made  one  of  (he 
termini  ol  that  water-way.  That  was  a  step  upward.  A  bigger  one 
was  made  in  l«4y,  when  the  Trenton  Iron  Company  estaldisheil  a 
furnace  here  :  and  again  in  iy.")2,  when  the  New  Jersey  Central  Railway 
wascomplclcd  to  that  place.  In  is.")4  the  I'.elvidcie  Delaware  liailroad 
was  eoinpletetl,  inauiilacturing  began  to  enlarge,  and  it  was  fairly  upon 
that  road  to  prosperity  wliieh  it  enjoy-  li-day.  The  railways  touching 
at  Phillipsburg  are  the  New  Jersey  Clenlral,  Itelvidcre  Delaware,  Lehigii 
Valley,  Morris  A:  Essex,  and  Easton  i\;  Aniboy.  It  is  an  iron  manu- 
facturing centre,  and  its  industries  in  that  llnegive  employment  to  about 
ele^■en  hundred  men.  Conununicaiion  i-  had  with  Easton  by  wieans  of 
a  toll-bridge,  and  a  double  railway  bridge.  The  bu.siness  ]Kirtion  of 
Phillipsburg  is  contined  chietiy  to  Main  street,  wliich  runs  northwest

from  Independence  township  in  the  year  1873  ;  population  of  the  town- 
ship about  900. 

The  surface  of  Allamuchy  is  rough  and  uneven,  covered  more  or  less 
with  hills.  The  township  has  an  abundant  supply  of  water,  furnLshed 
by  the  many  small  streams  flowing  from  its  hill  sides.  The  principal 
stream  is  the  Pequest  river,  which  enters  from  Frelinghuysen  on  the 
north  and  flows  southwest  Ihrongh  the  townsliip.  The  fanning  land  is 
mostly  rolling — some,  howevei-,  being  comparatively  ievel,  and  is  per- 
haps as  susceptible  of  cultivation  as  any  in  the  county.  The  soil  is 
principally  limestone,  though  in  the  valleys  may  be  found  a  daik  rich 
loam.  The  farms  of  Allanuichy  are  well  cultivated  and  are  he!. I  at  u 
high  tigme,  which  speaks  well  lor  the  thrift  of  the  township. 

A  portion  of  the  '•  Great  Meadows"  is  found  in  thi  township  This 
is  a  vast  tract  of  swamp  or.  bog  land,  covering  an  area  of  a"(Oir.  6,000 
acres,  and  embracing  portions  of  lour  township-  along  the  course  nf  the 
Pequest — Hope,  Independence  and  Allamuchy  in  Warren,  and  G'eea  in 
Sussex.  In  the  year  1872  commissioners  were  appointed  by  the  Supreme 
Court,  and  constituted  a  Board  of  Managers  for  the  purpose  of  draining 
the  "  Great  Meadows."  The  work  has  now  been  going  on  several  year.s,. 
and  good  results  are  being  realized  in  the  reclaiming  of  the  land,  and  iu 
the  improved  sanitary  condition  of  this  district  Previously  it  wa.s  a 
famous  malarial  district,  which  has  been  considerably  relieved  by  this 
system  of  drainage.  Allamuchy  Pond,  the  only  lake  in  the  township, 
is  a  small  and  rather  pretty  sheet  of  water,  and  is  the  source  of  a  some- 
what rapid  little  stream,  running  from  its  momentum  rather  thaa  itR 
magnitude,  two  or  three  grist  mills.. 


328  ALLAiMUCHY    TOWNSHIP. 

Tl)e  exact  date  of  the  lirst  settlement  in  AUamiichy  cannot  be  i;;iveu. 
The  most  prominent  and  enterprising  /judness  man  among  the  early 
settlers  was  one  Josepli  Demund,  who  settled  here  about  the  year  1800. 
He  purchased  (MO  acres  of  land,  where  Allamuchy  village  now  stands, 
planted  orchards,  built  a  gri1;t  mill  and  distillery  attached,  and  did  busi- 
ness on  what  was  then  considered  a  large  scale.  He  was  fond  of  specu . 
latinir,  won  the  confidence  of  his  neighbors,  borrowed  large  amounts  of 
money,  failed  finally,  and  ruined  a  number  of  his  securities.  However, 
tiirough  his  enterprise,  Allamucliy  in  tlie  early  psirt  of  this  century  was 
more  prominent  as  a  business  place  than  Hackettstown.  The  Quakers 
were  :dso  am')ng  the  early  settlers  of  the  township.  In  1764  they  built 
he  lirsl  C^uakcr  church  in  this  portion  of  New  Jersey,  upon  a  site  the 
(Iced  ff)r  whicli  was  given  by  William  Penn,  for  the  purpose  of  "  a 
Friends  meeting-house  forever,"  which  is  the  site  of  the  present  school 
house  of  Quaker  settlement,  used  also  for  church  services.  This  building 
contains  a  stove  taken  from  the  old  one,  and  bearing  the  date  •'  1764." 
About  200  yards  east  of  the  school  house  is  the  old  Quaker  graveyard, 
surrotuidert  by  a  well  built  stonewall  tive  feet  high,  and  still  used  for 
burial  purposes. 

There  are  but  tew  villages  in  the  township.  Allamuchy,  the  chief 
village,  and  the  cmly  business  village,  is  located  a  little  northeast  of  the 
centre  olthe  township,  and  was  probably  the  site  of  an  old  Indian  village. 
It  has  two  stores,  blacksmith  sjiop,  wheelwright  sl)op.  postotlice,  Jiotel, 
creamery  and  two  giisl  mills  in  close  proximity. 

Warre.nville  is  a  hamlet,  midway  between  Allamuchy  and  Hacketts- 
towr).  It  was  once  (pnte  a  prosperous  b\isiness  place,  but  at  present  is 
uuimportanl  in  that  jKirticular.  A]];imuchy  has  no  regular  church 
organi/atiun.  'i'lic  l.chigh  and  Hudson  Kivcr  Uailroad  crosses  the

BLAIRSTOWN  TOWNSHIP:. 


(^T*S  LAIRSTOWN  is  one  of  the  most  northern  townships  of  Warrea. 
1  \  Clonnty,  and  is  so  named  in  honor  of  one  of  her  most  tljs- 
.■^^^  tini^uislied  sons,  John  I.  Blair,  a  railroad  king  and  millionaire 
of  the  present  day.  It  was  set  off  from  Knowlton  township  by  an  act 
of  the  State  Legislature  in  February,  1845,  and  embraced  27.30  sq.  miles». 
or  17,472  acres  of  land.  It  has  a  popidatiou  of  about  1500.  It  is- 
bounded  as  follows:  North,  Pahacpuirry  township  ;  east.  Hardwick  antf! 
Fielinghuysen  ;  south,  Hope  ;  and  west,  Knowlton. 

Tho  Blue  Mountains  on  the  north  form  the  boundary  between  tixe 
townships  of  Pahaquarry  and  Blairstown.  From  the  summit  ot  \hm 
range  is  a  .series  of  hills  and  valleys,  like  a  giant  staircase,  leading  dowju. 
to  the  valley  of  the  Paulinskill,  q^ar  the  centre  of  the  township.  Oat 
the  south  side  of  the  Paulinskill  is  a  gradual  rise  extending  nearly  %&. 
the  southern  boundary  of  the  township,  where  a  ridge  is  reached,  r^srn- 
ning  in  a  northeasterly  and  southwesterly  direction  across  it  and  forB8&- 
ing  a  local  watershed  ;  the  streams  on  the  north  running  into  the  Paul- 
inskill, and  those  on  the  south  into  Hope  township.  The  soil  i«  cokj- 
po-ed  chiefly  of  a  gravelly  loam,  susceptible  of  a  high  state  of  cuUm  h— 
tion,  and  is  very  productive  when  i)laced  under  proper  treatment. 

The  iirincii)al  stream  in  this  township  is  the  Paul-inkill,  which  runs- 
through  the  central  portion  in  a  southwesterly  direction  and  einpties- 
into  the  Delaware.  There  are  numerous  other  .small  and  unimjKrtant 
streams.  Cedar  Lake,  sometimes  called  Buttermilk  pond  from  the 
rnilky  apjiearance  of  its  waters,  is  a  pretty  sheet  of  water  situate  1  about; 
one  and  a  half  miles  from  the  village  of  Blairstown,  and  has  becoixi* 
quite  populai-  as  a  local  picnic  ground  and  as  a  general  summer  resort- 
One  of  the  natural  curiosities  of  this  township,  and  perhaps  the  o  uly 
specimen  of  the  kind  to  be  found  "n  the  United  States,  is  Elephant 
Rock.  It  is  situated  along  the  read  leading  from  Jack.souburg  to  Wal- 
nut Valley,  about  midway  between  the  two  places,  and  reseaibles  verfr 
exactly  a  big  elei)hant  asleep. 

It  is  j)robable  that  the  earliest  settlements  were  made  in  the  vicmitjr 
of  Walnut  Valley  and  along  the  Paulinskill.      The  red  men  were  here 
ahead  of  the  white  settlers.      There  are  still  to  be  found  the  remains    of 
an  Indian  village  along  the  Paulinskill,  on  the  farm  of  David  F.  Brands, 


BLAIRSTOWN    TOWNSHIP.  333 

ool  far  from  the  western  border  of  the  township.  On  the  higli  knoU 
above  what  is  now  l^nown  in  thi-^  vicinity  as  the  •*' Ijig  spring"  was  the 
old  Indian  burying-trround.  where  lie  the  remains  of  many  a  red  man 
whose  spirit  has  long  since  gone  to  the  "happy  him  ting  ground." 
Mounds  and  rude  head.stones,  marking  the  resting-places  of  the  dead, 
are  still  visible  though  overgrown  by  trees  and  underbrush. 

The  first  town-meeting  in  Blairstown  was  held  April  14,  184o. 

T)ie  villages  of  the  township  are  as  follows  :  Blairstown,  the  "  gem  of 
the  Paulinskill"',  is  beautifully  and  romatically  situated  on  the  right 
bank  of  that  stream,  nine  miles  from  its  continence  with  the  Delaware 
liver,  and  about  lialf-way  between  the  capitals  of  Warren  and  Sussex 
counties,  being  thirteen  miles  sf)uthwest  of  Newton  and  tifteen  miles 
northeast  of  Btlvidere.  Blairstown  is  the  natural  centre  of  an  extensive 
scope  of  territory  embracing  all  tne  northern  part  of  the  county,  and 
even  parts  of  western  Sussex  cimnty,  bounded  on  the  north  by  the  Del- 
aware, extending  to  the  eastward  of  Stillwater  in  Sussex,  south  to  the 
Jenny  Jump  mountains,  and  Avest  also  to  the  Deleware.  Its  merchants 
and  business  men  have  always  been  noted  for  their  enterprise  and  have 
always  commanded  a  large  share  of  the  patronage,  not  onh-  of  the  di.s- 
trict  just  described,  but  also  a  veiy  liberal  patronage  from  Monroe  and 
Pike  counties,  Pa.  The  exact  date  of  its  settlement  is  not  known,  but 
there  are  evidences  that  it  is  one  of  the  oldest  t^wns  in  the  county.  It 
was  originally  called  "Smith's  Mills",  in  honor  of  the  Smith  who  .set- 
tled there  at  a  very  early  date  and  built  a  large  grist-mill  and  saw-raill 
along  the  Paulinskill  and  near  where  King's  blacksmith  shop  now 
stands.  It  was  next  called  "Butts'  Bridge";  then  "Gravel  IliU",  and 
finally,  Jan.  24,  1839,  by  a  vote  of  the  citizens  it  was  called  Blaii>^lo%vn, 
in  honor  of  Hon.  John  I.  Blair,  before  referred  to.  At  this  place  was 
located  one  of  the  old-time  whipping-posts.  The  Blairstown  Prfiss  was 
established  in  1877;  the  bi^ilding  of  that  name  was  erected  in  1880. 
Blair  Academy,  a  Presbyterian  college  preparatory  school  is  located 
here.  There  are  in  Blairstown  :  two  churches,  Presbyterian  and  Meth- 
odist ;  academy;  public  school;  public  hall ;  hotel ;  postoflSce  ;  general 
and  grocery  stores  ;  BtairHtown  Press  ;  carriage  nianufactorj-,  and  nu- 
merous smaller  business  places.  Jacksonburg,  a'  small  hamlet  U Abated- 
about  one  mile  to  the  northwest  of  Blairstown.  It  was  at  one  time 
quite  a  business  place.  At  the  present  time  it  has  a  school-house, 
blacksmith  and  wheelwright  shop,  distiller},  store  and  gristm.ill.  WaJ- 
nut  Valley,  about  four  miles  from  Blairstown,  was  so  called  bccau-se  of 
the  large  number  of  blackwalnut  trees  growing  in  that  section.  The 
postoflSce  at  this  place  was  established  in  1827,  and  was  conducted  by 
the  original  postmaster  for  about  50  years.  It  has  a  hotel  building, 
blacksmith  shop,  and  school  building,  ustd  abo  for  church  services.

FRELINGHUY8EN  TOWNSHIP. 


.<s 


(^,HIS  township  was  formed  fr.jm  Haidwick  towusliip  in  1848,  and 
is  one  of  the  X.  E.  border  township^;.     It  was  named  in  lionor 

^  of  Hon.  Theodore  Freliiighnysen.  The  township  is  about  five 
and  a  lialf  miles  long  and  lour  a  and  half  wide, and  covers  anarea  of  22.69 
S([uare  miles  or  14.o2l'  acres,  with  a  population  of  about  1100.  It  is 
bounded  <m  I  lie  N.  and  NE.  by  Hardwick  township  and  Sussex  county 
on  the  E.  and  SE.  by  Sussex  county,  and  the  townships  of  Allamuchy 
anl  Irnlependence ;  on  the  SW.  by  Hope  and  Blairstown,  and  on  the 
N\V.  l)y  IJiairstown  ana  Hardwick.  Paulin's  Kill  creek  forms  the 
boundary  line  between  Hardwick  and  Frelinghuysen. 

The  surface  of  tliis  townsliip  is  very  uneven,  being  co-i^ered  with  hills, 
hollows,  and  rocky  knol)s.  The  Jenny  Jump  mountains  run  along  the 
South  Ha  lern  border,  '•  X  ouiit  Kascal,"  is  a  lofty  limestone  knob,  near 
the  village  of  Johnsonsburg,  covered  with  evergreens  and  scrub-oaks  :  it 
is  stud  ii)  be  .1  resort  for  Sunday  card  players,  hence  the  name.  The 
NortluM'^iern  portion  of  the  township  is  drained  by  the  several  small 
tributaries  of  ihe  Paulin's  Kill,  Bear  creek  and  its  tributaries  drain  the 
Southeastern  coi'iier,  and  Trout  Brook  the  Southwrestern.  There  are 
several  small  a..d  beautiful  lakes  or  "ponds,"  as  they  are  called,  sprinkled 
throughout  the  townsliip,  generally  bearing  the  name  of  the  individual 
who  owns  or  lias  at  some  time  owned  the  land  upon  which  they  are 
found. 

This  towushi|)  w^as  first  settled  by  Gej-man  pioneers,  at  a  very  early 
date — long  before  Warren  county  was  thouglit  of — whose  love  for  free- 
dom and  religious  liberty  led  them  into  this  section  of  country,  when  it 
was  lull,  a  howling  wilderness,  in  search  of  a  home  wliere  they  might 
enjov  lieed(jm  of  thouglit,  and  act  according  to  the  dictates  of  their  own 
cou  cience  witliout  iear  of  molestation  from  any  one.  Among  the.se 
early  pioneers  was  Dr.  Samuel  Kennedy,  who  located  at  John.sonsburg, 
and  was  the  first  practicing  physician  of  a  fixed  location  in  all  this  section 
of  country.  His  practice  extended  so  tar  over  the  comitry  that  pro. 
fessional  visits  of  twenty-five  or  tliirty  miles  were  no  uncommon  event  in 
his  career.  He  was  an  able  practitioner,  and  prepared  a  numlier  of 
students  for  the  medical  profession.  Drs.  Linn  and  Everitt,  who  prac- 
ticed amf)ng  later  generations,  were  among  the  number  who  received 
their  first  medical  instruction  from  Dr.  Kennedy. 


344  FRELINGHUYSEN    TOWNSHIP. 

The  first  voiinir  jilace  lor  this  township,  of  which  we  have  knowledge 
was  Hi  Trenton,  thou  :i  vilhigc  of  Hunterdon  county,  though  of  course, 
as  in  our  day  the  voting  place  could  Ijc  appointed  elsewiicre  by  vote  of 
the  people. 

Among  the  ancitnl  land  marks  of  this  township  are  the  "  old  lou" 
jail,"  and  the  'Dark  Moon  tavern."  On  the  31st,  of  March  17.>1.  a 
meeting  of  the  Board  of  Justices  and  freeholders  of  the  county,  (then 
rmhraring  both  Sussex  and  Warren.)  met  at  the  house  of  Samuel  Green, 
near  the  present  site  of  Johnsonsbm'u,  (the  first  body  of  the  kind  ever 
convened  in  the  county.)  and  appointed  a  meeting  of  all  the  qnalilied 
persons  of  the  county  to  be  held  at  said  Green's  house  on  the  16th.  liih 
and  18th  day.';  of  April.  1754,  "  to  elect  u  place  to  build  a  jail  and  court- 
house." The  meeting  was  accordingly  held  and  the  jail  ordered  to  be 
built  near  Jonathan  Pettit's  tavern  and  the  county  to  bear  the  expense  . 
Jonathan  Pettits  tavern  was  located  near  what  is  now  John- 
sonsburg.  The  jail  was  cheai)ly  and  poorly  built,  and  very  uusati^- 
faclorily  served  the  purpose  of  a  jail.  During  the  nine  years  of  iis 
existence  as  a  jail  the  county  became  responsible,  on  account  of  I  lie 
(liglit  c(f  imprisoned  debtors  to  the  amount  of  nearly  £000  oi-  ;d)out 
•S;i.(K.IO,  which  was  etjual  to  about  fourteen  times  the  expense  of  buHding 
the  jail. 

The  courts  were  held  at  the  liouse  of  Jonathan  Pcltit,  near  tiic  log 
jail.  Irom  Nov.  1753  to  Fell.  17.-)(),  when  Newton  was  made  the  seat  of 
holfling  the  coints. 

The  "  Dark  Moon  tavern"  was  located  about  1,1  miles  from  the  log 
jail,  on  the  road  to  Green'ille,  and  was  kept  prior  to  and  long  after  the 
Itevojulionary  war.  Its  large,  old  fasinoned  swinging  sign  had  a  black 
nioon  painted  on  a  white  backgroiuid.  which  gave  to  it  and  Ihe  surro\md- 
ing  country  the  name  of  "Dark  Moon  tavern."  Many  stoiics  and 
tiirilHng  adventures  are  told  of  this  tavern,  which  in  its  palmy  days  was 
the  rendezvous  of  the  most  desperate  characters  for  miles  around.  The 
three  principal  villages  of  Frclinglniysen  are  Johiisonsburg  with  a 
l>opidtttion  of  about  200  ;  Marksboro,  I.IO,  and  Paidina7o.  Johnsonsburg 
)i!is  a  clirislian  and  M.  E.  churcli,  ;iiid  Presbyterian  chapel,  a  .school 
Ji'iiise.  grist  mill,  hotel,  three  stores,  a  cabinet  shop,  wheelwrights, 
fo'ipcrs,  tinsmiths.  blaeksn)ith,  shoemakers,  etc. 

Marksboro  luid  Paulina  have  each  a  school-house  and  grist  mill; 
Mark-^boro  a  Prr'>>bylerian  church,  and  Paulina  a  Presltytcrjan  chapel. 
and  a   «>/ish  and  bliiul  faclorv,  with  such  other   business  iilaees  as   ar«

FRANKLIN  TOWNSHIP. 


■^— ^ 


(    ,  ITTS  township,  Ihoiigh  not  among  tlio  latest  settled  in  the  county,

^      that  was  organize  i  in  ].*^30. 

The  act  whicU  ei'ectfMl  Franklin  an  imlepemiant  townsliip  was  ])assed

bridge  ;  thenoe  to  a  white  oak  tree  on  the  north  bank  of  Merrel's  brook, 
one  niile  and  a  quarter  above  its  junction  with  the  Morris  turnpike: 
thenci-  to  :i  jioint  where  the  Brass  C'aslle  stream  crosses  the  Oxford  and 
.N[anslield  township  line;  thence  to  the  point  where  the  bridge  crosses 
the  Musconetcong  creek,  u(;ar  the  house  of  William  Runkle ;  thence 
down  the  middle  of  said  stream  to  the  place  of  beginning — shall  be  and 
hereby  is  setoff  from  the  township  of  Greenwich.  Oxford  and  Mans- 
tield,  in  the  county  of  Warren,  and  made  a  separate  township,  to  be 
called  ami  known  l)y  the  name  of  the  '  township  of  Franklin." 

"  And  he,  it  erMctsd,  That  the  inhabitants  of  the  township  ot  Franklin 
shall  hold  tiieir  first  annual  township  meeting  at  the  inn  now  occupied 
by  Benjamin  (-'•  McCUillough,  in  the  village  of  Broadway,  in  tlie  said 
township  of  Franklin,  on  the  day  appointed  by  law  for  holdin  the 
annual  township  meetings  in  other  townships  in  the  county  r)f  Warren." 

FranWin  is  bounded  on  the  northeast  by  .Washingt.jn  townshij) ;  on 
tjie  soulhe:lsi  by  tiie  townshij)  of  Bethlehem  in  Hunterdon  comity  ;  on 
the  11  )rihwesl  by  Har.uony,  anp  on  the  sou4hwest  b}'  Greenwhich.    - 

The  Musconetcong  river  runs  along  its  entire  eastern  border,  sep.arat- 
ing  it  fi'oni  Hunterdon  county,  and  the  Pohatcong  mountains  traverse 
its  entire  (!xtent  from  the  northeast  to  .southwest. 

■  .  It  embraces  an    area  of  4|  miles  square,  or  13,021  acres,  most  of  which 
is  tillable  land.     It  has  a  population  of  about  sixteen  hundred

bury,  in   tlic  raslcrn  |)arl  of  tlic  lowiisliip,  near  the   Huiileidoii    county 
line.     Tlie  ]\Iuiris  Canal  traverses  the  northern  portion  ot  the  township. 

The  soil  of  the  township  is  principally  clay,  with  a  mixture  of  gravel. 
Scarcely  any  saud   is  found  within  its  borders.     In  the  southern  portion 
there  is  a  ridire  ol  slate  about  one  and  a   half  miles  in  e.xtent.     The  soi 
is  fertile  and  well  adapted  to  the  raising  of  most  grains. 

Tlie  grain  in  Franklin  townshij)  is  usually  good,  large  and  prolific 
crops  being  annually  gathered.  The  surface  of  the  township  is  undulat- 
ing, exhiiiiting  to  the  traveler  alternate  elevations  and  depres.sions. 

Fraidilin  township  has  three  villages  within  its  limits,  viz  :  Asbury, 
broadway  and  New  Village.  Asluuy  derived  its  name  from  Bishop 
Asbir}',  who  in  ISOO  iaiil  the  corner  stone  of  the  Methodist  Episcopa

erected  in  IHUO  was  simple  in  constrncticni,  and  but-  28x;^0  feet  in 
dimensions.  A  new  building  was  erected  in  1842,  and  dedicated  during 
December  of  that  vear.  Tlu'  Bloomsburv  churcii  was  connected  with 
lh(!  Asbury  charge  until  ISoS.  when  it  became  a  .separate  organization. 

The  First  Presbyterian  ChuK  h  of  .V^bury  was  erected  and  dedicated  to 
God  Se|)t.  23,  18(»!).  It  is  a  neat  brick  structure,  capable  of  .seating 
400  person.-.  It  was  built  at  a  cost  of  about  $1S,()00  aiul  is  free  from 
debt.  liii/.  dway  is  a  quiet  little  hamlet  containing  two  stores,  a  hotel, 
a  schooi  h"  .-;e  and  a  Methodist  Episcoi)al  cnuireh.  The  church  edifice 
Was  erecteil  .  i  1S42.  New  Village,  located  ui)on  the  Morris  ('anal,  is  &

GREENWICH  TOWNSHIP. 


=^ 


f7i 


REENWICHlownsr.ipwas  originally  one  of  the  four  civil  divisions 
f^  J  of  Sussex  county,  and  was  until  very  recently  the  most  southerly 
^-^  of  the  township  of  Warren.  When  first  torraedit  compiiseda 
vast  extent  of  territory,  but  has  been  reducicd  from  time  to  time  until  at 
present  it  i-*  comparatively  small,  liavinii;  a  population  of  less  than  1.2O0. 

Green^jrich  is  bounded  on  tlie  north  by  l.opatcong,  east  by  Franklin, 
south  by  Hilnterdon  county  and  Pohaicong,  west  by  Pohatcong. 

The  township  i-^  crossed  by  the  Morris  ik  Essex  Railroad,  and  the 
Morris  Canal.  The  Lehigh  Valley  Kailroad  also  traverses  the  western 
portion.  The  surface  of  (ireenwich  is  undiilatinir,  presenting  a' great 
variety  of  scenery- port io  s  of  which  are  very  beautiful.  The  soil  is 
generally  fertile,  mueli  of  it  being  a  combination  of  limestone  clay,  and 
sand.  Clay  is  mostly  found  in  the  central  portion,  with  but  little  sand 
interspersed.  This  is  the  most  productive  section  of  the  township.  The 
principal  occupation  is  farming,  thousih  mining  intere.sts  have  begun  to 
spring  up  in  this  portion  of  the  county.  The  several  lime-kilns,  located 
here  and  there,  add  another  item  tot  lie  industries  of  the  township.  The 
tine  water-power  facilities  have  given  rise  lo  manufncturing  aiid  milling 
intere.sts  in  vaiious  ])oriion:~  of  Gieenwich.  t  >nc  nf  ihe  largest  flour  and 
feed  mills  of  the  county  is  located  at  Cooksville,  about  one  mile  from 
Stewartsville. 

Perhaps  the  most  interesting  evidence  (^f  the  antiquity  ol  this  town- 
ship is  the  ancient  burial  place  connected  with  the  (Ireenwich  Presby- 
terian Chuich,  in  which  lie  tiie  remains  of  many  settlers  who  came 
hither  prior  to  the  war  of  the  Kevolution.  Indeed  it  is  a  relic  of  Revo- 
lutionary times.  The  visitor  who  gazes  upon  the  plain,  ancient  slabs 
that  mark  the  final  resting  place  of  so  many  of  our  country's  early 
settlers,  cannot  refrain  from  calling  up  in  his  imagination  the  dark  days 
of  old,  and  in  his  vision  (here  appeai'cd  many  a  manly  and  heroic  f(»rm 
whose  sturdy,  daring  and  ihithful  adhi'rence  to  the  principals  of  dul\-, 
have  rendered  Green  .-ich  the  happy  dwelling  place  of  hundreds,  and 
whose  ashts  now  render  sacred  Cireeiiwich  cemetery.  Tliere  are  in  the 
township  some  other  burial  places  of  less  than  ancient  date. 


360  GREENWICH    TOWNSHII'.

HOPE   TOWNSHIP, 


f  OPE  is  the  ceutral  inlorior  township  of  the  county.  Its  name 
jT  is  flerived  from  the  pioneer  Aroravians,  who  setth-rl  here  in 
"^^  ^  1 709,  and  gave  that  name  to  the  locality  in  which  ihey  settled 
which  rinaljy  beeanie  the  present  villaiie  ol  Hope.  This  township  was 
cut  otr  from  Oxford  in  1830.  Flope  township  is  bounded  on  tiie  north  by 
Blairstown  and  Frelinghuysen  on  the  northeast  and  east  by  Freling- 
huysen  and  independence  ;  on  the  southeast  and  south  by  Mansfield  and 
Oxfoid.  and  southwist  and  west  by  Oxford  and  Knowlton.  The  town- 
ship contains  3,017  square  miles  or  li),;5()9  acres  of  land  ;  present  ]iopu- 
latiou  about  1,600 

The  siuface  of  Hope  township  is  hilly  and  mountainous.  The  Jenny 
.lump  mountain  lange  crosses  the  township  from  northeast  to  southwest. 
Limestone  knobs  abound  tJiroughout  the  township.  A  great  variety  of 
.scenery  is  presented  in  the  township,  portions  of  it  being  pictuiesqne 
and  beautiful.  The  soil  along  the  "alleys  of  the  Pe(|uest  River  and  otLer 
streams  is  very  fertile,  while  that  ufion  tiie  mountain  sides  is  not  com 
mendablc  for  its  fertility.  Green's  Pond,  a  i)i(nie  and  excursion  resort 
of  local  fame,  is  a  beatitif  ul  sheet  of  water  located  in  the  southwestern 
pnrl  of  the  township.  It  is  one  mile  long,  and  from  one  half  to  three- 
quarters  of  a  mile  wide,  and  is  snid  to  be  named  from  the  first  settler  in 
till'  township. 

Silver  Lake,  so  called  because  of  the  clear  silvery  appearance  of  its 
surface,  covers  about  "jOO  acres  in  the  northeast  corner  of  the  township. 
There  are  a  numlterof  small  streams  in  the  township,  among  which  are 
Beaver  Brook,  Honey  Itun  and  Muddy  Brook.  Upon  tlie.se  streams  art* 
numerous  good  mill  sites,  some  of  which  are  occupied. 

Norllj  of  the  village  of  Hope,  and  along  tiie  Beaver  Hrook,  are  557 
acres  of  land  called  "  Wet  Meadow. '«" 

About  one  mile  southwest  of  Hope  is  a  deposit  of  marl,  where  ii  is 
•aid  to  be  four  feet  thick,  under  from  two  to  four  feet  of  muck. 

Tlic  first  setllei  within  tiie  present  limits  of  Hope  township  is 
suppf)scd  to  be  S.unuel  ftn-en.  who  came  from  Long  Island  about  the 
commencement  of  the  French  and  Indian  war.  The  exact  place  of  his 
location  is  not  positively  known,  4hough  supposed  to  be  either  in  the 
vicinity  ol  Gr<  <n's  Pond  or  near  what  is  now  the  village  of  Hope  Mr. 
Green  was  a  deputy  surveyor  for  the  West  Jersey  proprietors,  and  was 
the  owner  of  a  large  tract  of  land,  embracing  about  the  whole  of  the 


HOPE     TOWNSEtlP.  367 

pn'scut  tOT/nsljip.  Otber  settlers  fbllo-sved,  amon?  whom  were  Samsor 
Howell,  who  settled  at  tlie  foot  of  the  Jenny  Jump  mountains  built  a 
saw  c.ill,  and  supfilied  the  Moravians  with  what  lumbertheyn  quired  for 
t'ncir  buildings  iit  Hope.  The  Moravian;i  brethren  came  here  Jn  1760 
from  l-5etlilehem,  Pa.,  and  purchase<l  of  Samuel  Green  1500  acres  of  land, 
for  which  they  paid  about  SI  per  acre.  They  founded  the  village  of  Hope; 
lived  there  for  about  J3o  ye  rs,  suffered  pecuniary  loss,  and  relurned  to 
Bethlehem  in  I8O0  or  18(6.  The  Moravian  were  a  thoroughly  honest 
class  of  people,  but  by  relying  too  much  on  the  honesty  of  those  whom 
they  dealt  with,  they  suffered  loss  and  were  compelled  to  abandon  their 
Hope  enterprise. 

The  towns  of  Hope  township  are  :  Rope,  the  principal  town  of  the 
townsh  p,  was  founded  by  the  Moravians,  or  United  Bi-ethren,  in  1769,  and 
was  for  a  short  time  the  seat  of  justice  for  Warren  county.  It  is  located 
in  the  north  central  part  of  the  township,  being  beautifully  situated  near 
tlie  )\ead  waters  ot  P.i -aver  Brook,  up_n  tlie  banks  of  which  it  is  built.  It 
is  an  inland  town,  lying  among  th<'  picturesque  hills  and  surrounded  by 
smiling  valleys,  and  is  a  i<!rminus  of  tlie  o'id  Hoiie  and  Elizabeth  turn, 
pike.  It  is  12  miles  ivom  the  famous  Water  Gap,  16  from  Newton,  9 
from  Belvidere,  and  about  6  each  from  Blairstown,  Delaware  Station, 
and  Hridgevillfe,  whicli  arc  its  nearest  railroad  stations.  A  stajfo, 
carryuig  the  mail,  runs  daily  to  tlic  last  named  place;  also  one  from 
Hope  to  Warringion.      , 

One  of  Die  peculiarities  i)f  Hie  liistory  of  Hoi)e,  is  the  conversion  of  the 
old  stone  chnreh  of  the  Moravi-ans  into  a  hotel  at  present,  and  for  several 
years  passed  occupied  by  H.  W.  Rmidle,  while  on  the  site  of  the  old 
Moravian  tavern,  stands  the  Christian  church  of  to-day 

In  the  building  which  is  now  the  Union  Hotel,  in  the  year  lb24,  were 
hfld  the  first  courts  for  Waneii  county,  and  thus  Hope  became  a 
rival  of  Hel  idi-re  when  the  question  oi  a  county  seat  was  to  be  deter- 
mined. Hope  has  the  advantages  ot  a  very  (jlcasant  summer  resort,  and 
has  a  fair  prospect  of  being  thus  palroni/.ed.  The  Unrai  House  is 
ahead}'  accommodating  a  number  of  summer  boarders 

Hope  has  at  piesent  two  hotels,  four  general  stores,  one  drug  store, 
one  hardware  store,  merchant  tailor,  harncssmaker,  foundry  and 
machine  shop,  wlieelwright  shop  bhicksmilli  sJioi),  shoe  shop,  furniture 
and  undertaking  establishment,  meat  market,  saw  mill,  four  churches, 
physicians,  lawyer,  a  public  and  private  school,  and  a  gristmill;  popu- 
lation, 250. 

Mt.  Herman,  a  neat  little  handel  in  the  northwest  corner  of  the  town- 
ship, has  a  church,  sciiool-house,  store  and  postoffice. 

Townsbnry  is  situated  in  the  southern  part  of  the  towu^liip,  in  tlie 
Peqnest  Valie}  and  on  the  Lehigh  and  Hudson  railroad  and  is  the  only 
point  in  the  township  having  a  railway  station.  It  has  a  store,  black- 
smith shops,  grist-riiill,  saw-mill  and  poatoflace.  Schools  in  township,  6 
scholars.  363.

HARDWICK  TOWNSHIP. 


-:: n^ti 


\\f  ARDWICK  is  one  of  the  northern  northeast  bonier  townships  of 
'^Y  ^^^^  county,  and  is  bounded  on  the  northeast  by  Sussex  county, 
'^^  ^  on  the  south  and  southwest  by  Pauliuskill,  which  forms  the 
boundary  between  this  and  Frelinghuysen  townships,  on  the  southwest 
by  Blairstown  township,  and  on  the  northwest  b\-  the  township  of 
Puhaquarry.  It  contains  15.91  square  miles,  or  10,182  acres  of  land. 
Population  at  present  about  650. 

The  surface  of  Hardwick  is  very  uneven.  All  the  streams  of  this 
township  flow  in  a  southerly  or  southwesterly  direction,  which  indicates 
the  general  ticjpe  of  land.  The  Blue  Mount.iins  on  the  north  form  the 
boundary  between  this  and  Pahaquary  townships.  This  is  the  most 
elevated  portion  of  the  township,  and  Irom  this  part  southward  to  the 
Valley  of  the  Paulinskill  is  a  succession  of  hills,  valleys  and  ridges. 
The  principal  titreara  passing  through  this  township  is  Waii'  Creek,  which 
ri  es  iu  the  northeastern  part,  flows  in  a  slightly  southwestern  direction, 
crossing  the  township  almost  diagonally,  and  emptying  into  the  Paulin- 
skill at  the  village  of  Blairstown.  'I'his  stream  provides  several  g')od 
mill  si;;es,  some  of  which  are  already  occupied.  .Jacksonburg  Creek 
rises  also  in  the  northeastern  part,  among  the  Blair  Mountains,  flows 
southwest  through  Hardwick  and  Blairstown  townships  into  the  Paulins- 
kill. White  Pond  is  a  beautiful  sueet  of  water,  situated  about  half  a 
mile  north  of  1  aulinskill,  and  about  halfway  between  the  northeast  anu 
southwest  borders  of  the  township.  This  name  is  given  to  the  pond  on 
account  of  the  deposits  of  white  shells,  which  are  {tlainly  visible  at  its 
bottom.  Shuster  Pond,  named  from  an  early  settler  of  that  name,  and 
Mud  Pond,  so-called  because  of  its  muddy  appearance,  are  small  bodies 
of  water  found  in  the  township. 

There  are  no  settlements  of  impcnlance  in  this  township,  which  is 
doubtless  due  to  the  fact  that  the  surroundings  necessary  to  suggest  and 
invite  the  building  of  a  town  are  wanting.  There  is  good  farming  land 
in  the  township,  and  considerable  timber  resources,  with  probable 
mineral  wealth,  and  many  of  the  people  areiu  comfortable  circumstances. 
The  first  settlers  came  here  about  the  year  1735.     Among  the  first  were 


376  HARDWICK    TOWNSHIP. 

a  number  of  Q?i»kers,  whtj,  afti-r  a  time,  constrained  to  migrate  into 
Hunterdon  county,  that  they  might  carry  on  llicirJiusineRs  as  millers, 
there  beinfj  no  mills  in  Hardwick  at  this  early  date.  The  first  mill  in 
thiR  township  was  built  about  the  year  1T83,  near  the  present  village  of 
Paulina.  The^mill  at  Marksboro  wassfion  afterward  built.  The  tiist  gener- 
al election  in  this  townsh'p,  which  at  that  time  embraced  also  Freling- 
huysen,  was  held  in  1791.  The  division  of  the  towiishij)  was  made  in 
1848.  The  original  Hardwick  was  formed  by  royal  patent  in  171o.  The 
first  town  meeting  of  which  we  have  any  record  met  at  the  house  of  one 
Deborah  Hettit,  on  the  8th  of  March,  1774.  At  this  time  the  "Town 
Committee"  was  known  as  a  "  committee  to  settle  with  the  Overseers  ot 
the  Poor  and  to  assist  them."  The  words  "and  for  other  purposes" 
became  a  part  of  the  title  in  1775.  In  1779  they  were  termed  "  Com- 
missioners of  Appeals  and  a  committee  to  settle  with  ihe  Overseers  of 
the  Poor  ;"  in  1781  "  a  committee  to  settle  all  the  i)ublic  business ol  the 
town;"  in  1799  "committee  of  the  town;'  in  1801,  "committee  of 
five;"  in  184:^.  "township  committee;"  and  in  1S44  "town  com- 
mittee," which  title  is  still  retained.  The  first  school  committee  seems 
to  have  been  oi'giinized  in  18:!4.  In  1847  the  conuniltci'  was  comi.osed 
of  one  person.  The  last  townshiji  school  superintendent  was  Lenuicl 
F.  L.  Wilson,  who  held  oflSce  in  1866. 

Among  the  ')usiness  interests  of  Hardwi«k  may  be  mentioned  the 
following  :  The  saw  mill  of  A.  J.  Hill,  which  stands  on  the  site  ot  the 
old  pioneer  giist-milj.  ])uilt  by  Peter  B.  Shaler  abont  the  close  of  the 
war  of  the  Revolution.  A  sash  and  blind  factory  at  Paulina  ;  the  old 
Wintermute  saw-mill  ;  a  sorghum  factory  on  Pauliiiskdl  near  Winter- 
mutes  saw-mill;  a  saw-mill  and  tannery  at  Slabtown  ;  a  saw-mill  on 
Blair  Creek,  and  one  on  Jacksonhurg  Creek,  and  a  grist-mill  on  Blair 
Creek.  Hardwick  once  had  a  cotton  factory  on  the  banks  of  the  I'aidins- 
kill,  and  about  midway  between  Paidina  and  .Maiksboro,  the  walls  of 
which  may  still  be  seen.  It  has  not  been  in  active  opcsralion  since  about 
the  year  1835.  There  is  no  regular  church  organization  in  the  townshi^' 
at  the  present  time,  and  but  one  cemetery,  situated  in  the  southern  part 
of  School  District,  No.  78,  on  the  road  leading  from  Slabtown  to  Marks- 
boro, in  which  a  number  of  the  i)ionncer  settlers  are  sleeping. 

A  temperance  society  was  fornied  in  this  township  as  early  as  \H'M), 
and  was  known  as  the  "  Hardwick  Temperance  Society."  It  has  long 
Rince  dwindled  into  in.Mgnificanct'.  and  is  ii(»\v  only  a  thing  of  the  past, 
and  the  fathers  who  toniicd  it  have  i)een  long  in  pos.sestsion  of  their  re' 
ward.     There  are  but  two  schools  in  the  lownshsp  with  99  scholars.

**= 


^^1  ARMONY  is  one  of  the  soiitli western  border  townships  of  War- 
]^  ren  county,  being  situated  in  the  so\itliern  part  of  tiie  tier  of 
^^^  ^  townships  along  tlie  Delaware,  and  was  formed  in  1S89,  hav- 
ing up  to  tliat  time  embraced  portions  of  Greenwieh  and  Oxford.  Its 
dimensions  are  six  miles  long  by  five  miles  in  Invadth.  and  it  contains 
13,881  acres  of  land. 

The  Belvidere  divisiou  of  the  Pennsylvania  Kaihoad  erosses  ihe 
western  part  of  the  township,  along  and  nearly  jiarallel  with  the  Dthi- 
ware  river,  and  has  a  station  at  Martin's  Creek,  and  flag  stations  at 
Hutchinsons  and  Ro.xburg.  Harmony  is  bounded  on  the  north  by  Ox- 
lord  and  the  Delaware,  on  the  east  by  Franklin,  on  t])e  south  by  Lopat- 
cong,  and  on  the  west  by  the  Delaware. 

The  surface  of  this  township  is  considerably  varied,  being  covered 
with  mountains,  hills  and  valley.  Scott's  Moiuitain  extends  into  the 
lownHhip  of  (J.xford,  running  northeast  and  southwest  near  the  eastern 
boundary.  Marble  Moiuitain,  and  its  extension  Ragged  Ridge  cross  the 
townshljt  in  the  center,  running  also  northeast  and  southwest. 

The  soil  of  the  township,  like  its  surface,  is  varied.  Along  the 
Delaware  is  a  flat  composed  mostly  of  .sand  and  limestone.  Marble 
Mountain  has  a  soil  made  uj)  also  of  limestone  and  other  coarse  nuUerial 
of  a  eliaracter  not  to  be  highly  conunended  for  its  f«rtilily.  There  is 
also  a  small  portion  of  wet  laml,  but  the  grealer  part  of  the  township  is 
fertile  and  productive.  Harmony  townshi))  is  well  watered.  Its  west- 
ern border  is  washed  by  the  Delaware:  Lopatcong  Creek,  a  tribntaiy 
of  the  Delaware,  rises  in  S(!otts  .Mountain  and  flows  in  a  southwestern 
direction  through  the  townshij);  Meriets  Rrook  has  its  source  in  the 
same  moimtains,  and  flows  south  into  Greenwiiii  township.  Harmony 
is  one  of  1  he  most  pictureM(|ue  townships  in  the  county. 

The  first  .settlements  were  made  prior  to  the  Revolutionary  War.  but 
the  exact  dale  cannot  be  given.  The  early  settlers  were  probably 
mixed,  coining  from  diflerent  fatherland.-.  Amonj;  the  most  important 
were  those  of  EuLdisli  e.xtraction.

INDEPENDENCE  TOWNSHIP. 


'^-^^^ 


Ys » 


/  ^DEPENDENCE,  located  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  county,  is 
V  Ixmmled  on  the  uortliwest  by  Frelinghuysen  ;  on  the  northeast 
— »_  '  l».v  Allainiichy  ;  on  the  southeast  by  Hackettstown  and  Mans- 
fiehl ;  and  on  the  west  and  north  by  Manstield  and  Hope.  It  contains  16.8« 
square  miles,  or  10,836  acres,  and  has  a  population  of  about  1100.  The 
Morris  canal  is  the  dividing  line  between  Independence  and  Haclcetts- 
towu,  and  the  Jenny  Jump  mountains  between  Independence  and  Fre- 
linghuysen. The  Pequest  River  crosses  the  township  from  northeast  to 
southwest,  and  witli  its  many  tributaries  supplies  it  well  with  water, 
and  tits  it  for  agricultural  products.  Tlie  Lehigh  &  Hudson  K.  K. 
cros.ses  the  township  just  a  little  north  of  the  centre. 

The  land  in  Independence  is  very  uneven,  being  composed  in  the 
soiulieasiern  part  of  ranges  of  hijfh  hills  and  deep  gullies. 

•'On  the  road  leadmg  from  Hackettstown,  northwest  to  Vienna— a 
ste:'|)  hill,  ncaily  a  mile  long  has  to  be  surmounted.  When  tlic  top  is 
reached  tbc  land  is  Ibuud  to  be  rolling,  \n\\  laid  out  in  good  farms.  As 
Vieiuia  is  a|iproachfd,  a  long  bill  is  descende*!  fully  a  mile  in  length. 
'I'liiMi  the  hcaiuilnl  valley  <if  the  PcC|uest  is  reached,  when-  may  be  seen 
some  of  the  finest  fiirnis  in  the  c(Hintry.  Rough  as  the  uplands  are  they 
atfonl  abundant  crops.  The  soil  i>  largely  composed  of  limestone  on  the 
hills  and  hillsides;  in  the  \ alleys  is  a  dark  loam  and  needs  but  little 
cultivation  to  J)e  made  to  produce  nu)st  beautifully.  The  "Jenny 
Jump"  mountains  is  a  high  range  of  hills  l)ordering  the  towu.ship  on  the 
northwest.  The  origin  of  its  name  is  a  matter  of  tiadition.  Probably 
the  must  ridiuble  account  is  that  as  an  old  .settler  was  driving  down  the 
steep  side  of  the  mountain  his  team  becaiiK;  unmanageable,  and  being  in 
great  danger  of  being  capsized,  lie  called  to  his  wife  wlio.se  name  was 
Jenny,  to  jump — wliich  she  did,  thereby  .saving  her  life.  Be  this  as  it 
may,  the  mountains  have  boin  this  name  far  back  of  the  memory  of  any 
living  man." 


890  INDEPENDENCE   TOWNSHIP. 

Thfic  is  :in  abiimlance  of  limestone  throughout  the  h)\vnshif>,  large 
quautities  of  which  are  quarried  foi'  fertilizing  purposes.  The  soil  of 
nearly  all  the  farming  laud  is  composed  of  this  disintegrated  limestone. 
The  rock  extends  from  the  Pecpiest  Valley  well  up  the  sloi)e  of  the  hill- 
sides, wljere  a  dark  slate  crops  oul.  There  is  an  abundance  of  iron  ore 
in  vai'ious  parts  of  the  township,  although  not  worked  to  any  great  ex- 
tent . 

Vienna.  Danville  and  Petersburg  are  the  three  villages  located  in  the 
township.  Vienna  is  situated  one  mile  southeast  of  Danville,  and  is  a 
pleasant  village  of  about  ;$00  inhahiiaids.  It  was  settled  at  a  very  early 
date.  Danville  is  located  in  the  western  part  of  the  township  near  the 
Hope  township  line.  It  has  fewer  inhabitants  than  its  more  beautiful 
neighbor,  Vienna.     Petersburg  is  a  small  hamlet  of  half  a  dozen  houses. 

There  are  three  churches  in  the  township  viz:  The  Pecpiest  Metho- 
dist Episcopal  Church  :  the  Danville  Presbyterian  Church,  and  the 
Christian  CInuch,  at  Vienna.  TI.e  Methodist  Churcii  was  {)rojected  in 
1^10,  but  was  not  finished  till  1S34.  The  site  for  the  church  was  pur- 
chased of  John  Cummins  for  the  siuii  yf  thirty  dollars.  Prior  to  1810, 
the  Methodists  held  meetings  in  the  old  slime  house  of  Mr.  Philip  Cum- 
mins. Here  Mishop  .\sb\iry  occasionally  stayed  and  preached.  It  is 
said  that  this  was  the  first  Methodist  Church  in  what  was  then  Sussex 
county.  A  new  church  in  winch  the  congregation  now  worship,  was 
built  in  tHr»5.  The  Danville  Presbyterian  Church  was  formerlv  an  out- 
post or  mission  connected  with  the  HackettstoWn  Ghtnch.  In  1824  a 
stone  church  was  built,  ;iid  in  ISO^  it  was  remodelled  to  its  present  con- 
dition— one  of  liie  most  beaiitifid  and  comfoitable  in  the  Presbytery. 
The  Christian  Oltiuch  was  first  organized  at  Caddington,  now  called 
Petersburg,  in  18;{'.l,  and  the  present  church  at  Vienna  built  in  1858. 

The  drainage  of  the  Great  Meadows   was  a   great   thing  for  Indepen- 
dence, and  some  of  the  finevi  and  most  iirofitabh;  land  in  the  State  is  no\r 
cviltivated    wiieie  formerly  was  simply  marsh  and  Ixjg.     Tiure  are  three 
schools  in   Independence  townshii>,  viz  :   Vienna,   Danville  and    Peters, 
'  btirg  with  a  total  of  200  scholars.

KNOWLTON  TOWNSHIP. 


NOWLTON  is  one  of  the  three  northern  townships  of  the 
county,  and  whose  northern  houudary  is  formed  by  the 
Ivittalinny  Mountains.  It  was  formed  from  Oxford  in  17G4, 
at  wliich  time  it  embraced  parts  of  Hope  and  Blairstown  townships. 
The  name  of  the  township  is  said  to  be  derived  from  the  appearance  of 
its  surface.  It  is  bounded  on  the  north  by  Paliaquarry,  on  the  east  by 
Blairstown,  on  the  soutli  by  Hope  and  Oxford,  and  on  the  west  by  the 
Delaware  Hiver.  It  has  an  area  of  25.1o  square  miles  or  16,083  acres  of 
land.  This  township  presents  a  considerable  variety  of  surface.  Along 
the  Delaware,  and  in  the  valley  of  the  Paulinskill,  the  soil  is  rich  and  of 
alluvial  formation,  while  along  the  mountains  in  the  north  it  is  mostly 
a  gravelly  loam  and  less  fertile.  The  soil  in  the  southern  part  of  the 
township  varies  with  the  location.  The  surface  of  the  township  is 
uneven,  having  upon  it  a  large  number  of  small  knolls  or  hills,  some  of 
which  an-  limestone  knobs.  From  this  tact  the  townsliip  was  written 
foi  a  numiicr  of  years  as  h'/toU-\o\\n.  The  principal  .streams  ol  Kuowl- 
toii  arc.  tin;  Paulinskill  w  tiifji  crosses  the  central  portion  of  the  town- 
ship in  a  southwestern  direction  and  cmplies  int<»  tlie  Delaware;  Yard's 
Creeii.,  a  iribwtarv  of  111.'  i'aiiliii^kill  :  and  Sliawpocussing  and  Centre- 
ville  (Greeks,  botli  tribularif^s  ot  the  Delaware.  The  New  Jersey  side  of 
the  famous  Delaware  Water  Gap,  is  in  the  northwestern  part  of  this 
township. 

The  first  settlers  were  Germans  who  came  here  to  enjoy  religious  lib- 
erty. Among  these  pioneers  was  (me  Robeson,  whose  son  was  shot  by 
the  Indians  while  endeavoring  to  cross  the  river  at  the  point  now  known 
as  "Robeson's  Rift."      In  honor  of  this  son  the  rift  was  named. 

The  chief  business  of  this  township  is  farming,  though  the  slate  fac- 
tories, bending  works,  etc.,  carry  on  an  amount  of  trade  worthy  of 
mention.

LOPATGONG  TOWNSHIP. 


'^: 


~»  *^ 


OPATCONG  is  one  of  the  smallest  townships  of  Warren  County 
,ancl  is  situated  in  the  southwestern  purt,  along  the  Delaware. 
It  is  odd  in  outline,  having  the  shape  of  a  wedge,  as  if  to  split 
Harmony  from  GreenWich.  Its  extreme  length  and  breadth  are  about 
equal,  each  being  about  four  miles.  It  is  bounded  on  the  north  by 
Harmony,  on  the  east  and  soutli  by  Greenwich,  and  on  the  west  by  the 
borough  of  Phillipsburg  and  the  Delaware,,  which  separates  it  from 
Pennsylvania. 

The  surface  is  uneven,  and  in  parts  somewhat  mountainous.  The 
agricultn  re  of  the  township  is  ia  a  flourishing  condition,  which  faci  la 
attested  by  the  existence  of  many  well-to-do  tarmers  within  its  limits. 
There  is  considerable  mineral  wealth  in  Lopatcong,  but  no  important 
developments  in  this  line  have  yet  been  made. 

This  township  has  no  village  within  its  limits,  a  fact  possibly  due  to 
the  proximity  of  Phillipsburg  and  Kaston.  •  It  is  traversed  by  the  rail- 
way lines  ot  the  New  Jersey  Central,  the  Morris  &  Essex,  .the  Bolvidere- 
Delaware,  and  the  Easton  and  Amboy.  The  Morris  Canal  passes  near 
the  soutliorn  and  eastern  borders. 

Tiie  date  of  the  first  settlement  cannot, -be  deti,nit*ly  ascertained,  but 
there  are  evidences  that  the  history  of  the  township  began  as  early  as 
1740,  and  perliaps  even  earlier.  Amfmg  the  very  earliest  settlers  was 
one  John  Feit,  who  emigrated  to  America  from  the  Rhine  country, 
between  Germany  and  France,  and  settled  in  the  vicinity  of  ihe  present 
town  of  Phillipsburg  about  the  year  a1)oVe  mentioned.  It  is  known  th^t 
he  married  there  in  1741.  The  only  circumstance,  of  which  we' have

MANSFIELD  I0WN8H1P. 


W  ANSFTELD  is  one  of  the  two  south  central  border  townships  of 
Vi*  V,_  ^\hc  county.  Thf  nrea  of  the  township  is  27.8  square  miles 
or  17,805  acres.  It  is  boiiudfd  on  the  north  by  Hope  town- 
ship, on  the  northeast  by  Indi^pendence.  on  the  east  by  the  Musconet- 
cong,  on  the  south  by  Wa.shingl(»n,  on  the  southwest  by  Washington  and 
Oxford,  and  on  the  west  and  norihwest  by  Oxford  and  Hope.  it  has  a 
pf^pulation  ot  about  1,800.  The  Morris  canal  and  the  Delaware,  Lacka- 
wanna and  VVes'ern  Railroad  pas!«  through  the  entire  township  from  east 
to  west. 

The  surfacp  ot  the  township  is  undulating,  two  chains  of  uills  running 
its  entire  length  from  east  to  west.  The  Alu.sconetcong  River  forms  the 
entire  southern  boundary  of  llie  township,  and  the  beautiful  Mueconet- 
cong  valley,  tilled  with  picturesque  and  productive  farms,  comprises  the 
whole  southern  por'ion  of  the  township,  running  parallel  with  the  chain 
of  hills  on  the  north.  Just  north  of  the  viilley  and  almost  parallel  with 
it,  run  the  Morris  &  i-:8^c.\  Caual  and  K.  L.  &  W.  It.  K.  Some  of  the 
most  pnjduetive  farms  of  the  county  are  found  in  this  township  and  in 
this  valley,  though  much  ol  the  laud,  on  account  of  its  l«>cation  and  slaty 
nature,  is  not  susceptible  of  a  high  state  of  cultivation.  Tht  land  in 
the  valley  botlomh  and  to  a  considerable  e.\l(;nl  the  uplands  are  anusual- 
ly  rich  and  easily  cultivated.  Many  of  the  farms  iu  the  Musconetccmg 
valley  yield  from  sixty  to  seventy-tive  bushel.s  ol  corn  and  fr«im  one  and 
a  half  to  two  tons  of  hav  per  acre. 

The  valley  along  the  Morrif  tjaual  is  wide,  the  hilln  on  the  wjuth  side 
sloping  off  gradually,  but  on  the  north  .side  iu  some  places  the  hills  rise 
abruptly  from  the  canal  Beyond  this  ridge,  on  the  north,  is  the  Pohat- 
ctmg  villey,  through  which  runs  th»;  creek  of  that  name.  This  creek  ha* 
its  source  in  Independence  township,  on  the  stock  farm  owned  by  Dr. 
W.  A.  Conover.  The  soil  in  this  valley  is  ver}-  rich,  and  the  farms 
throughout  the  eiitin  township  give  evidence  of  con.siderable  scientific 
agricultural  knowledge  on  the  part  of  the  farmers. 

Two  other  streams  Old  Hollow  lirf)ok  and  Trout  Brr-ok,  run  through 
the  town.ship  in  a  southwesiern  direction,  both  di.schurging  their  waters 
into  the  Musconetcong. 

rS^There  are  also  indications  of  considerable  mineral  wealth  iu  the  town- 
ship, though  at  the  present  time  these  resourse**  are  comparatively 
neglected.

OXFORD  TOWNSHIP. 


•  f  Oxford  is  ( 


is  oiu;  of  the  westeru  border  townships  of  the  count\ .  It  is 
\»i/      bouuded  oil    the    northeast    by    Hope,    southeu&t    by   ilanslield 
and  Washiugton,  on  the  southwest  by  Harmony,  and  on  the  w  est  and 
n»)rthwest  by  the  Delaware  river  and  Kuowlton  township. 

It  wa.'^  tormed  from  Greenwich  township  about  the  year  1753  or  1755, 
and  received  its  name  in  honor  of  Oxford  University.  England,  at  which 
place  the  lather  of  one  of  Oxford's  chief  pioneer's  was  educated.  The 
wwnship  contains  32.17  square  miles  or  20,589  acres  of  kind.  The 
soil  of  the  townsLip  is  a  mixture  of  clay  and  gravelly  loam,  with  a  layer 
of  limestone  and  slate  underneath.  .u  the  valley  it  is  especiall}-  fertile 
and  su.sceptible  of  cultivation,  the  hills  also,  yielding  readily  to  the  farm- 
ers plow. 

The  surface  of  Oxford  is  perhaps  as  uneven  asanyinthe  county, 
it  has  however,  a  proportionately  extensive  front  along  the  Delaware, 
which,  wlu;n  added  to  the  Pequest  valley,  gives  it  considerable  flat  sur- 
face. 

There  are  numerous  mountain  ranges  in  the  township,  among  which 
are  Scott's  along  the  >,outheast  bordi-r  of  the  township,  going  we.-itvvard 
or  north weslwara  we  have  next  the  Ragged  Ridge,  an  entension  of  Mar- 
ble mountain  running  into  this  township;  from  Harmony  and  parallel 
wiih  Scott's;  Manunka  i^huiik  mountain  in  the  northwest  and  along  the 
Delaware  is  the  next  and  last  westward  range,  of  importance.  Scotv'a 
mountains  lie  between  Scott's  and  Ragged  Ridge,  and  Mount  Nomore, 
judl  west  of  Oxford  Furnace,  beside  several  others  that  arc  up  to  this 
time,  nameless. 

The  principal  streams  are  Request  Creek,  which  Hows  through  the 
tt»wnship  ill  a  southwesterly  direction  and  empties  in  the  Delaware  at 
IJelvidere.  Beaver  IJiook  and  Furnace  Creek  boih  tributary  U)  the  Pe- 
quest Cieek;  Oxford  Cieek,  a  tributary  to  the  Delaware  and  Buck 
Horn  Brook  flowing  into  Harmony  township.  The  Delaware  river  may 
also  be  numbered  among  the  the  streams  of  Oxtbrd.  it  washes  the 
weatern  side  of  the  township  and  furnisiies  excellent  water  power  at  var- 
ious pouits.  About  half  a  mile  below  what  is  known  as  Raphaudusiug

PAHAQUARRY  TOWNSHIP. 


(i) 


AIIAQUAIiRY.  Tliis  township,  somefirnes  spoken  of  a.^  "tbe 
State  of  Pahaquarry,"  is  tl\e  extreme  ncrthern  township  of 
Warren  t'oiip'ty,  ninniug  across  the  entire  county,  an  ■  was 
termed  from  Walipaok  township,  Sussex  County,  in  lH->4.  It  is  bounded 
on  the  no'lh  by  ilie  Delaware  liiver,  on  ihe  east  by  Su'-nex  Co.,  on  the 
south  by  Hardwick,  Biairsiown,  and  Know  Itou  lownsiiips.  and  on  the 
west  by  the  Delawme  Kiver.  It  is  a  prt;idiarly  s  (-iiided  townsliip,  hav- 
ing for  its  norlliern  boundary  the  Delaware  River,  and  for  it  southern 
boundary  the  Blue  .VIountain.  The  lenjjth  <d'  IIk'  lowMshiji  is  12  nnles, 
averaffft  width  li  miles.  Its  area  is  19. ()4  Nt|uare  miles  or  12, 186  acres 
of  land.  The  name  of  the  township  is  derived  from  an  Indian  village, 
of  the  Miuisink  tribe,  unce  located  within  its  Jiiuil-. 

fhe  Blue  Mountain,  whicji  forms  the  entire  southern  bouixlary  of  the 
township,  ooinipiey  I  lie  greater  part  of  its  surface.  The  remainin/r  por- 
tion consists  of  but  a  small  strip  alon*:  the  Delaware,  about  one  fourtli 
of  a  mile  in  widlb.  runnin;^  also  the  entire  lenj^lh  of  ilir  lownsliip.  The 
rustic  beauty,  and  n.iounlain  scenery  of  F^aliai|u:trry  is  truly  piciuresfpu- 
and  sublime  in  noirditiary  deiiree.  Ft^remos'  among  the  nalurai  attrac- 
tions of  the  township  is  the  celebrated  "  Delaware  Water  Gap."  hx-ated 
at  the  southwesU'rn  end.  M  this  point  in  tlie  township,  the  rocks  riae 
almost  perpendicularly  in  rugged  masses,  presenting  a  bold  Ihreateiung 
front  forty  or  tilty  fe.M  in  bight.  This  is  known  as  tbe  '  Indian  Lad- 
der," the  Indians  having  form<d  beie  a  laddi-r  foi  themselves  fmm  a 
tree,  the  upriglit  position  of  which  served  their  purpose.  The  white* 
also  for  their  accommodation  constructed  a  rope  huUh-r,  but  its  use  wue 
attended  with  considerable  danger  and  it  was  finally  abandoned.  At 
the  present  time  a  wagon  and  also  a  railroad  run  along  the  river,  making 
the  use  of  ti»e  former  contrivance  unnecessary. 


452  PAHAQUARRY    TOWNSHIP. 

On  the  summit  of  the  Blue  jWouulaiu,  near  tlio  iiortlieastern  end  ol 
the  township,  is  "Cat  Fish  Poni,"  the  line  of  the  township  running 
just  southeast  of  the  ponii.  Its  outlet  flows  into  Blairstown.  About 
two  miles  southwest  of  this  is  "  Sun  Fish  Pond,"  also  on  the  summit  (.1 
the  mountain,  l,Ot)f)  ft.  above  tbe  Dehiware,  aiuf  having  two  outlets, 
one  natural  and  one  artificial,  both  flowinji-  into  the  Delaware.  AI)out 
three  (juarters  of  a  mile  tartlier  to  the  southwest  is  "  The  Paint  Spring,' 
which  tleposiiS  ferruginous  ochre.  'Die  summit  of  tiie  i^lue  J\Iountain  h 
the  highest  ground  in  the  State,  being  at  the  Water  Gap  nearly  1,800 
ft.  above  sea  level. 

Thit  first  settlement  In  WarTen  Vounty,  was  nuide  in  this  township,  per- 
haps by  a  iiundred  and  fifty  years.  The  ))ioneer  settlers  were  Jl(jlla7i(i- 
ers.  who  came  here  in  search  of  minerals  as  early  as  IBHO,  and,  it  is 
thought,  discovered  copper,  within  the  present  limits  of  the  townsliip. 
But  the  natural  obstructions  of  this  section  (which  might  be  turned 
into  natural  advantages),  were  such  as  to  ju'event  an\'  inijioi  tani  di-vtli  p- 
ment  in  this  direction.  Tliis  township  used  to  l)e  vi.-ited  by  lloraie 
Greely  Vi  hen  on  his  rustic  excursions. 

There  is  but  (uie  village  in  the  townsliip.  Mill  Bnok,  in  the  iiortli- 
ea»lern  part,  at  the  foot  of  the  Blue  Mountain,  and  im  Mill  Brook  Creel- 1 
hits  a  gristmill,  blacksmith  shop,  ?tore  and  post  office,  M.  E.  Chilreli, 
hotel  and  school  houM'. 

The  Delaware  Slate  C'ompuuy  have  their  works  in  Die  .south \\  cstern 
end  of  the  towushij)  At  this  place  is  a  small  collection  of  houses  for 
the  accommodation  of  the  employees.  There  are  two  other  pot-l  rfflces 
in  the  lownhbi]),  known  as  ('alno  and  Pahaquairy.

POHATCONG  TOWNSHIP. 


0, 


I  OHATCO^vG  is  I  he  southwestern  township  of  Warren  County. 
^*^^  It  was  until  rectntiy  embraced  in  (Jreenwich,  fruni  which  it 
was  formed  by  un  aet  of  tlie  btate  Legishilure,  approveil  March 
24;  18H1.  Tlie  lownsliip  contains  H,i>ii\  acres  of  hmd,  or  a  liiiie  less  tlian 
Yd  .s(iuare  miles.  It  is  bounded  north  and  n(;rthwest  by  the  Delaware 
Uivff,  east  and  northetist  by  Greenwich,  southeast  by  the  Musconet- 
tn)ng,  and  southwest  by  the  J)eiaware.  The  Pohalcong  Creew  crosses  the 
lownslnp  fr<»ni  northeast  to  southwest,  a  little  south  of  the  centre. 

In  i.hy.sical  characteristics  it  very  much  resembles  Greenwich.  'I'he 
land  is  rolling  and  hilly,  and  the  soil  fertile.  The  chief  imlu.stry  w 
farming,  tor  which  the  township  has  special  advantages.  The  pro.xinuty 
of  the  cities  of  Phillipsburg  and  Easton,  makes  it  a  desirable  location 
for  the  fanner,  who  thus  tinds  a  ready  and  convenient  market  for  hi« 
produce.  The  water  facilities  of  i^ohatcong  also,  .ire  worthy  of 
.special  mention,  and  are  such  as  would  invite  the  manufacturer  to  locale 
his  business  within  her  limit.s. 

Of  lh<!  first  settlements  within  the  present  limits  of  the  township,  we 
have  but  lifile  definite  infurmation.  The  Seigies,  the  descendants  of 
wiiom  are  quite  numerous  in  the  township,  are  known  to  be  amoug  ihe 
first  settlers.  The.v  can\e  to  this  countiy  willi  William  Fenn,  ^and 
settled  in  the  township,  now  known  a*;  Pohatcong,  which  vva.s  a  part  of 
Penu's  grant,  it  is  probable  liml  the  first  settlers  located  in  the  vicinity 
of  the  i)re.sent  town  of  8eigleville,  formerly  Middleville.  The  present 
name  of  the  town  will  probably  perpetuate  the  historic  name  of  ita 
founders. 

The  following  are  tlie  towns  of  Pohatcong ; 

Keiglesvillfc,  in  the  southwest  part  along  the  Delaware,  has  a  pa|)er 
mill   grist  mill,  hotel,  store,  post  oltice  and  RAi.  station. 

Fiuesville.  in  the  .south  part  along  the  Mu.sconetcoug,  has  a  knife 
faclorj',  two  store-.,  blMcksinith  and  wheelwright  shop,  carriage  factory,- 
M.  E.  and  C'hristian  churches,  and  pidilic  school. 

Seigleville,  about  a  hall  a  mile  from  Finesville,  lias  an  earthenware 
uianufHCtory,  grist  mill  ami  grain  cradle  manulactory. 

Hughesville,  also  along  the  Alu.sconelcong,  is  the  seat  of  the  Warreu 
paper  mill,  and  has  u  store  and  an  unoccupied  mill  seat. 

Carpenlersville.  in  the  uorthwe<«i,  along  the  Delaware,  ha.s  a  church, 
<iepol  and  school  hou>e. 

Springlown,  in  the  east,  aloii  the  P(»hatcong,  has  two  >itore.s,  black- 
smith shop,  grist  mill  and  a  >  hristian  church. 

Schools,  4.     Scholars,  :J28.     Populati<m,  about  1,150. 

There  is  one  other  i  ^wn  in  the,  township  which  is  really  a  suburb  of 
Phillipsburg,  and  its  business  is  rather  related  to  that  town  than  to  ik»» 
towoahip.

WASHINGTON  TOWNSHIP. 


— » «- 


\  A  /     ASHINGTON  township  is  situated  about  midway   between 

V  V     the  northern  and  southern  ends  of  Warren   county  along  thft 

Musconetcong.  As  a  township  it  may  be  called  "The  Flower 

pf  the    Musconetcong."    No  more  beautifid  scenery  is   presented  in  the 

county  than  is  to  be  seen  in  this  township. 

Prom  Washington  Borough,  looking  westward,  in  I  he  direction  of 
Phillipsburg,  may  be  seen  a  landscape  tnily  picturesque  and  striJiingly 
beautiful. 

In  shape,  the  township  is  almost  square,  its  eastern  and  westtrh  sides 
being  at  right  angles  with  the  Musconetcong,  and  its  northern  boundary 
in  general  direction,  almost  partillel  with  it.  It  is  bounded  as  follows  ; 
north,  Oxford;  east,  Mansfield;  south,  the  Musconetcong,  and  west, 
Franklin,. 

The  Borough  of  Washington  is  located  in  the  centime  of  the  town.ship 
And  is  described  elsewhere  in  this  work. 

Present  population  ot  the  township,  about  2,300. 

The  physical  features  of  this  township  are  considerably  varied.  Smil- 
ing valleys,  hills  rising  along  and  above  them,  and  mountains  looming 
up  here  and  there  are  i.s  characteristics.  It  is  well  watered  with  numer- 
ous springs  and  small  streams,  the  township  being  drained  almost  whol- 
ly by  the  Musconetcong  and  the  Pohatcong,  the  one  forming  its  southern 
boundary,  the  othei'  crossing  its  central  portion. 

The  Pohatcong  mountains  as  the  principal  range.  The  loftiest  mo\m- 
tain  in  this  section  of  country  is  Scott's  Mountain,  near  Oxford  Furnace, 
being  about  1,120  feet  above  the  sea  level.  The  elevation  of  the  Pohat- 
cong Mountains  in  the  vicinity  of  Washington  is  much  less,  be.iig 
but  about  500  feet.  Most  of  the  mountains  in  this  t-ection  have  a  marked 
characteristic — to  the  northeast  they  slope  very  gradually  until  they  sink 
out  of  sight,  while  at  their  southwest  ends  the  decline  is  broken  and  sud- 
den, which  is  possibly  the  result  of  the  diluvial  period. 

Oae  of  the  most  romantic  places,  for  a  single  day's  rustication,  to  be 
found  anywhere,  may  be  visited  in  this  township.  "Roaring  Rock,"  of 
local  fame,  is  a  miniature  cataract  in  th(f  course  of  Brass  Castle  Creeli, 
situated  about  a  mile  and  a  halt  from  Washington  Borough,  and  is  much 
vi«iled   by  picnic   paities   and  the  lovers  of  romantic  and   picturesque 


WASHINGTON    TOWNSHIP.  467 

scener)',  The  Rock  is  about  10  feet  wide  and  30  feet  long.  It  was 
originally  called  the  "Iiniian  Stompei"  tVoin  the  fact  that  it  was  once 
used  by  thf;  Indians  for  gi-indiii^  or  crushing  corn. 

There  are  evidences  that  the  history  of  the   township  begins  with  that 
of  ChftUgewater,  in  1787.  and   that  Chaugcwater   was  more  prosperoue  . 
than  Washington  prior  to  1800.      There  were  settlers  in  the   township, 
however,  as  early  as  1769. 

The  principal  occupation  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  townsiiip,  is  farm- 
ing, and  stock  raising.  Several  othei-  industi-ies  are  reprevented,  such 
as  milling,  tanning,  stone  quarrying  etc.,  but  are  not  carried  on  to  any 
great  extent. 

Forraery  other  industries  received  attention  in  this  township,  which 
are  now  not  existing,  a  i  ong  which  was  that  ofcanal-l>oat  building.  Two 
boat  yards  were  in  active  operation,  one  at  Washington  and  one  at  Port 
Colden,  in  which  many  boats  were  built  annually.  The  Morris  Canal 
and  the  Morris  &  Essex  RR.  furnish  employment  to  a  number  of  men 
in  the  township. 

The  towns  are:  Port  Colden,  situated  on  the  Morris  &  Essex  RR.  and 
the  Morris  Canal,  and  is  said  to  be  naaied  in  honor  of  Cadwalader  Col- 
den, who  was  Governor  of  the  State  of  Sew  York,  under  the  second 
period  of  the  English  administration,  during  the  year  1760-61.  The 
.settlement  was  first  called  "Dusenberry's  Folly,"  in  < ontempt  for  Wm, 
Dusen berry,  one  of  th"  founders  of  the  place,  for  being  so  foolish  as  to 
think  that  a  large  town  would  at  some  time  occupy  I  lie  present  site  of 
the  village. 

The  oldest  settler  here  was  Newbold  Woolsion,  grandfather  of  the 
present  James  B.  W<K)lston.  It  has  three  st.tres,  a  blacksmith  shop, 
post  office  and  schr)o]house.     It  is  about  one  mile  from  Washington. 

Changewater,  so  called  because  of  tlie  -ieparation  and  conducting  of 
the  waters  from  the  upper  and  lower  banks  of  the  .Vlusconetfong,  into 
two  counties,  Warren  and  Hunterdon, by  tlu'  mill  races  of  the  "Old  Forge," 
is  located  in  the  southern  part  of  thetowusliip.  wliere  l\n-  D.  L.  «fc  W.RR. 
crosses  the  Musconetcong.  It  was  the  scene  of  the  murder  of  the  Cast- 
ner  family,  by  Carter  and  Parks,  whose  graves  are  along  the  road  lea<l- 
ng  to  Port  Colden,  and  just  nortli  of  Mic  villagf;  of  Changewater.  Parks 
was  a  biother-in-law  of  Castner.  D.ite  of  tlu;  murder,  1844.  Change- 
water  has  an  excellent  flouring  mill,  a  picture  frame  factory,  store  post 
office,  school  house  and  limestone  (juari  ies. 

Brass  Castle,  supposed  to  be  so  called   because  one  Jacob  Biass,   in 
the  old  pioneer  days  erected  at  this  place  his  log  castle,  is  located  in    the 
northwestern  part  of  the  township  ui)on  the  north  bank  of  the  Moms  ca- 
nal.     It  has  a  grist  mill,  blacksmilli  shop,  saw  mill,  school  houf^e  and 
8tore  of  recent  date. 
Imladale  has  a  st<  re  and  grist  mill. 
Fairmount  has  a  school  house  and  foundry. 
Washington  Borough   is  described  elsewhere.    Schools  5,  scholars  3flfl.
